Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

2.
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

3.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa

4.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

5.
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail

6.
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin

7.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo

8.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

9.
If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
Hockney, David

10.
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes

11.
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Gandhi, Indira

12.
I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.
Beck

13.
There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
Zedong, Mao

14.
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
Kronenberger, Louis

15.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor

16.
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Shaw, George Bernard

17.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

18.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

19.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

20.
Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One
Wilde, Oscar

21.
The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

22.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.

23.
Art, that great undogmatized church.
Key, Ellen

24.
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson

25.
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John

27.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

28.
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
Bunuel, Luis

29.
Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Cather, Willa

30.
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs. Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

31.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

32.
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.

33.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop

34.
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc

35.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

36.
The artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

37.
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Pound, Ezra

38.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

39.
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth

40.
I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible.
Maistre, Joseph De

41.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

42.
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos

43.
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole ofyour hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Francis De Sales, St.

44.
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Beauvoir, Simone De

45.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

46.
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now,by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Eliot, T. S.

47.
When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand -- as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it is bad art.
Chagall, Marc

48.
Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.
Nickolas Muray

49.
I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.
Ben Shahn

50.
Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.
Hare, David
