Artist Quotes

We usually evaluate creative process in terms of how much feeling or thinking was behind the work or how well the work was done. Isn’t there any other way of appreciating the process? What if the standard of excellence was how fully present the artist was during the process? Picture Quote #1

The artist accepts the limitations of form, not with fear and dread, but as the starting point of creation Picture Quote #1

In his garden every man may be his own artist without apology or explanation. Each within his green enclosure is a creator, and no two shall reach the same conclusion; nor shall we, any more than other creative workers, be ever wholly satisfied with our accomplishment. Ever a season ahead of us floats the vision of perfection and herein lies its perennial charm Picture Quote #1

In one’s garden a person may be one’s own artist without apology or explanation. Here is one spot where each may experience the romance of possibility Picture Quote #1

Grace, not willpower, is what ultimately empowers us to live loving lives. Creativity, both in what spawns within the artist and the artifact, can be a vital source of that grace Picture Quote #1

A great artist is not one who merely fits into a genre but one who defines the genre Picture Quote #1

I do not enjoy the promotional side of being a writer, to be blunt about it. Even with the little amount that is expected of me, which is nothing compared to the life of an artist. Writers can live in obscurity and come out of the woodwork with a book, then go back in. Artists don’t have that luxury Picture Quote #1

I think that to explore the uncomfortable and the politically incorrect is the job of the artist Picture Quote #1

Play is the taproot from which original art springs. It is the raw stuff that the artist channels with all his learning and technique Picture Quote #1

When I was very, very young, seven years old, I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion, to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me, I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher Picture Quote #1

At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be Picture Quote #1

And let’s get one thing straight. There’s a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight Picture Quote #1

I don’t think that writers or painters or filmmakers function because they have something they particularly want to say. They have something that they feel. And they like the art form; they like words, or the smell of paint, or celluloid and photographic images and working with actors. I don’t think that any genuine artist has ever been oriented by some didactic point of view, even if he thought he was Picture Quote #1

A lot of times maturing as an artist is just starting to do the things you like to do Picture Quote #1

Maybe that, really, is as good a definition as any of an artist in the world: a ruthless person Picture Quote #1

Fifteen minutes of fame doesn’t make a career. An article in a magazine, newspaper, interview on television or multiple print ads may stroke your ego, but nothing much else. An artist’s career is a lifetime venture. Just because an artist is on top doesn’t mean they are sheltered from a crash. As has been stated, the higher you climb, the harder you fall Picture Quote #1

An artist, if he is truly an artist, is only interested in one thing and that is to wake up the minds of men, to have mankind and womankind realize that there is something greater than what we see on the surface Picture Quote #1

I have never really been a great artist. I have been a human being that has loved art, which is not the same thing. But I have loved and believed in art and the idea of universal brotherhood so much, that I have put everything I have into them, and I have been blessed Picture Quote #1

This is what it is to love an artist: The moon is always rising above your house. The houses of your neighbors look dull and lacking in moonlight. But he is always going away from you. Inside his head there is always something more beautiful Picture Quote #1

Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out Picture Quote #1

The attempt to divide art and politics is a bourgeois which says good poetry, art, cannot be political, but since everything is … political, even an artist or work that claims not to have any politics is making a political statement by that act Picture Quote #1

As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees; but what he sees is primarily what he looks at Picture Quote #1

My father was a proctologist and my mother was an abstract artist, so that’s how I view the world Picture Quote #1

I am not an angel and do not pretend to be. That is not one of my roles. But I am not a devil, either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged Picture Quote #1

As an artist I am attracted by decadence, by those who exhaust their lives in the shallow pursuits of pleasure. Occasionally, I feel that spiritually I participate in all these kinds of lives Picture Quote #1

True dreams and visions should be as visible to the artist as the phenomena of the objective world Picture Quote #1

The artist expresses only what he has within himself, not what he sees with his eyes Picture Quote #1

Certain dressmakers desire to pass for an artist. I have one ambition: that is to have good taste Picture Quote #1

The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance Picture Quote #1

As a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity Picture Quote #1
