Artist Quotes

To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there’s no such thing as perfect Picture Quote #1

I have many musical inspirations, but I would really love to just be me. My very own artist Picture Quote #1

In the future, I see me as being my own artist and definitely not a ballad singer! Picture Quote #1

Let not a man do what his sense of right bids him not to do, nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman Picture Quote #1

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark Picture Quote #1

No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition Picture Quote #1

I somehow sensed when I was a teenager that I wanted to do my own work. I was quite clear that I didn’t want to be an interpretative kind of artist. I had an intuition about wanting to create my own form, in one way or another, whatever that would be Picture Quote #1

A half dozen pictures would just about be enough for the life of an artist, for my life Picture Quote #1

I think there are a lot of pictures to make. I sometimes question whether I’m even an artist or just a painter. To me, the making of the pictures is the most important thing Picture Quote #1

I don’t have to ask anyone’s permission to do anything. It’s nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I’m doing is better for me as a solo artist Picture Quote #1

In art, the only one who really knows whether what you’ve done is honest is the artist Picture Quote #1

Part of being an artist is being willing to be shocked, being willing to be surprised, being willing to be hurt Picture Quote #1

As an artist, you don’t think about the parabola or the arc you’re describing or where you’re going to ultimately end up, you’re just kind of crawling around, seeing what’s out there Picture Quote #1

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist Picture Quote #1

I’ve also been willing to share any help that I could give to any other artist Picture Quote #1

The art of an artist must be his own art. It is... always a continuous chain of little inventions, little technical discoveries of ones own, in ones relation to the tool, the material and the colors Picture Quote #1

The artist need not know very much, best of all let him work instinctively and paint as naturally as he breathes or walks Picture Quote #1

The artist writes, paints, sings or dances the burden of some idea or feeling off his mind Picture Quote #1

I should have been a much better artist if I could have studied more and amused myself less Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what people find or like in me, I’m hopelessly commonplace!... Current appreciation of my work is a bit highbrow, I’ve always considered myself a popular artist Picture Quote #1

Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it Picture Quote #1

The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating Picture Quote #1

Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist is to take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to be irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning Picture Quote #1

From the age of six I wanted to be an artist. At that point I meant a painter, but it turned out what I really meant was I was someone who was very interested in watching the world and making copies of it Picture Quote #1

As an artist I’d choose the thing that’s beautiful more than the one that’s true Picture Quote #1

Every time you work, you have to do it all over again, to rid yourself of this dross. I suppose for a person who is not an artist or not attempting art, it is not dross, because it is the common exchange of everyday life Picture Quote #1

It is futile for an artist to try to create an environment because you have an environment around you all the time. Any living organism has an environment Picture Quote #1

The little dissatisfaction which every artist feels at the completion of a work forms the germ of a new work Picture Quote #1

I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views Picture Quote #1
