Artist Quotes

... what is so important is that you play for the artist and for the record and for the song... everything else falls into place... my solo has to be a complement to the singer and the song Picture Quote #1

An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime Picture Quote #1

If the artist only reproduces superficial features as photography does, if he copies the lineaments of a face exactly, without reference to character, he deserves no admiration. The resemblance which he ought to obtain is that of the soul Picture Quote #1

It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop Picture Quote #1

A mediocre man copying nature will never produce a work of art, because he really looks without seeing, and though he may have noted each detail minutely, the result will be flat and without character... the artist on the contrary, sees; that is to say, his eye, grafted on his heart, reads deeply into the bosom of nature Picture Quote #1

A work of art is a work of order, and if the artist is to put the stamp of his own mind on his work, he must arrange, modify, and dispose of his materials so that they may appear in a more agreeable and beautiful manner than they would have assumed without his interference Picture Quote #1

To pronounce something clever and honest is not such a big deal, lots of them have been said and written. For a statement of truth to be effective and for it to make people wiser, it has to be filtered through the soul of a highest quality, the soul of an artist Picture Quote #1

Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot physically see with his eyes... Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an explosion into unknown areas Picture Quote #1

Every artist I suppose has a sense of what they think has been the importance of their work. But to ask them to define it is not really a fair question. My real answer would be, the answer is on the wall Picture Quote #1

If an artist wants to use his mind for creative work, cutting oneself off from society is a necessary thing Picture Quote #1

Nature holds the beautiful, for the artist who has the insight to extract it. Thus, beauty lies even in humble, perhaps ugly things, and the ideal, which bypasses or improves on nature, may not be truly beautiful in the end Picture Quote #1

And what more could I possibly ask as an artist than that your most precious visions, however rare, assume sometimes the forms of my images Picture Quote #1

The simple truth is that being a creative artist takes courage; it’s not a job for the faint of heart. It takes courage each and every time you put a book or poem or painting before the public, because it is, in fact, enormously revealing Picture Quote #1

It is imperative that the artist reveal through the medium in which he is happiest, what he sees, thinks and feels about his surroundings Picture Quote #1

The artist must paint as he would speak. I don’t want people to speculate what I mean, I want them to understand Picture Quote #1

An artist painting a picture should have at his side a man with a club to hit him over the head when the picture is finished Picture Quote #1

The painter who is content with the praise of the world for what does not satisfy himself, is not an artist, but an artisan; for though his reward be only praise, his pay is that of a mechanic Picture Quote #1

There’s only one thing in life for a woman; it’s to be a mother... A woman artist must be... capable of making primary sacrifices Picture Quote #1

I suppose I felt doomed to be an artist early on because of the way I drew all over the books that I needed for school, from ancient history to math. I was more interested in drawing in the margins than actually doing the work Picture Quote #1

The job of the artist is not to resolve or beautify, but to hold complexities, to see and make clear Picture Quote #1

I work every day. I work all day. I’ve never had a holiday. It’s all I really want to do. It’s what I’m here for... More and more, I’m just so grateful I was born an artist Picture Quote #1

You take the risk of being rejected. If you have pretentions to be an artist of any kind, you have to take the risk of people rejecting you and thinking you’re an arsehole Picture Quote #1

Computer programming is an art, because it applies accumulated knowledge to the world, because it requires skill and ingenuity, and especially because it produces objects of beauty. A programmer who subconsciously views himself as an artist will enjoy what he does and will do it better Picture Quote #1

I put myself in the place of the listener when editing my writing. The last thing that I want to do is be preached at and told who to be or what to think when listening to an artist. However, I do want to be inspired. There’s a fine line Picture Quote #1

I’m not a jazz artist. Don’t get me wrong now, it’s all music to me. I just played music and if it’s likeable, someone liked the sound, then fine, but I’m not interested in being a jazz musician. I don’t consider myself a jazz musician. I don’t have anything to do with that word Picture Quote #1

Watching something being constructed, whether you’re passing a building site or whether you’re watching an artist at work, is fascinating, and I think that’s the enjoyment Picture Quote #1

Make no mistake about it, magick is an art form, and every true magician is an artist Picture Quote #1

What drives me is to still feel creative and like I’m pushing myself as an artist Picture Quote #1

Beyoncé built her f–king foundation from the bottom. I think that’s the exact career every female artist wants to have Picture Quote #1

I don’t think people were put here to be happy. I think if you decide to be an artist or a writer, you automatically accept the responsibility of being alone. However, after your 50 or 60 years are up you’ll be able to look back and see this output that you’ve done that will endure long after you’re gone, and will continue to fill the minds of millions of people Picture Quote #1
