Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

2.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis

3.
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul

4.
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.
Trocchi, Alexander

5.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

6.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

7.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert

8.
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin

9.
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell

10.
Where are you searching for me, friend? Look! Here am I right within you. Not in temple, nor in mosque, not in Kaaba nor Kailas, but here right within you am I.
Kabir

11.
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Gogh, Vincent Van

12.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

13.
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

14.
Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values.
Alvarez, A.

15.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.

16.
I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
Mandino, Og

17.
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb

18.
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

19.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.
Nightingale, Florence

21.
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

22.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

23.
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

24.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

25.
Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place.
Rowland, Helen

26.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

27.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

28.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf

29.
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

30.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

31.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George

32.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

33.
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth

34.
Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
Lewitzky, Bella

35.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

36.
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky

37.
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath

38.
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert

39.
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James

40.
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Wilde, Oscar

41.
The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure -- if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Drummond, John

42.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore

43.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

44.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy

45.
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold

46.
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
Duke Ellington

47.
I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.
Luther, Martin

48.
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

49.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard

50.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock
