Art Is Quotes

I believe that the making of art is primarily for the benefit of the artist. If what the artist has created communicates messages and feelings to others, then it is because of the universality of the human experience that is speaking through the work of art Picture Quote #1

Art is eternally young, but the poet ages. If only he remained as young as art! If only it aged with him! Picture Quote #1

The purpose of truly transcendent art is to express something you are not yet, but something that you can become Picture Quote #1

I’m making some of the greatest art being made now. It’ll take the art world ten years to get around to it Picture Quote #1

All art is erotic. The first ornament to have been invented, the cross, was of erotic origin. It was the first work of art. A horizontal stroke: the woman lying down. A vertical stroke: the male who penetrates her Picture Quote #1

I would like to try to understand what is. We know very little, and I am trying to do it by creating analogies. Almost every work of art is an analogy Picture Quote #1

Art is good, bad, boring, ugly, useful to us or not. It does or doesn’t disturb optical monotony, and succeeds or fails in surmounting sterility of style or visual stereotype; it creates new beauty or it doesn’t Picture Quote #1

Not every good idea survives. Not every new form of art is repeated. Not every new potential instinct is successful. Only the successful ones get repeated. By natural selection and then through repetition they become probable, more habitual Picture Quote #1

Art is only worth what people will pay for it. Artists do not get paid by the hour Picture Quote #1

Maybe this is a utopian view of art but I do believe that art can function as a vehicle, that it isn’t just a cultural pursuit, something that happens in art galleries. Unless art is linked to experience and the fear and joy of that, it becomes mere icing on the cake Picture Quote #1

The aim of art is a constant, and a continuous job to reveal visually the attitude of our mentality. And the less we disturb the influence of our mentality the more I believe we come close to the truth Picture Quote #1

What modern art means is that you have to keep finding new ways to express yourself, to express the problems, that there are no settled ways, no fixed approach. This is a painful situation, and modern art is about this painful situation of having no absolutely definite way of expressing yourself Picture Quote #1

Everywhere in the modern world there is neglect, the need to be recognized, which is not satisfied. Art is a way of recognizing oneself, which is why it will always be modern Picture Quote #1

Art is not arbitrary. A fine painting is not there by accident; it is not arrived at by chance. We are sensitive to tonalities Picture Quote #1

I have no idea of what it’s going to look like when I start a piece. Making art is like having a relationship. You want to bring in some ideas, but if you don’t allow it to develop naturally and speak to you as it develops, you end up imposing and projecting upon it Picture Quote #1

Art is a staple of mankind... So urgent, so utterly linked with the pulse of feeling that it becomes the singular sign of life when every other aspect of civilization fails Picture Quote #1

The problem with contemporary art is that no one bothers to do the research necessary to give people what they want Picture Quote #1

Art provides us with clues about how to live our own lives more fully... art becomes our entree to the sublime Picture Quote #1

Art is not just about what’s great or expensive or scandalous or famous. It’s a mirror we hold up that looks different to everyone who sees it, and whose beauty lies as much in us, and our capacity to dream Picture Quote #1

Whether something is called art is beside the point. What counts is what happens when you ask it to actually be art Picture Quote #1

Good art has everything you need to know about it in the work, not on a wall label. Art is here to take us beyond language Picture Quote #1

The power of art is not in communication but effect; what it does, not what it relates Picture Quote #1

Science is a matter of adjusting language to explain material reality. Art is a matter of adjusting material reality to create a sense of life Picture Quote #1

Art is like a butterfly fluttering in a meadow. Analysis of art is like a butterfly on a pin. Each has its value, but we must always be aware of the difference, and what is gained or lost Picture Quote #1

Our human landscape is overburdened with competitions and contests. Art need not be a contest. Art is a personal quest for quality. Quality is the forerunner of acceptance. Character is the forerunner of quality. Be your own discriminating connoisseur Picture Quote #1

Critics are the products of their own times and biases and what they have to say about works of art is as transient and insubstantial as fashion Picture Quote #1

Art is a course in personal development that has no reliable diploma and no known end. The pursuit of art instructs in beauty as well as ugliness, fantasy as well as common sense. Art levels souls and baffles brains. Art softens pain because it is pain. Art gives joy because it is joy Picture Quote #1

Abstract art is a creative interplay between the conscious and the unconscious, with the conscious mind making all the final decisions and in control throughout Picture Quote #1

I myself incline to drift, to accept a lesser situation rather than strive for a greater, and yet, I know that character in life and art is only made by an effort that is quite beyond one’s ordinary everyday acceptance of things as they are Picture Quote #1

Art is not an amusement, nor a distraction, nor is it, as many men maintain, an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a high training of the soul, essential to the soul’s growth, to its unfoldment Picture Quote #1
