Artist Quotes

Being a good artist is the toughest job you could pick, and you have to be a little nuts to take it on Picture Quote #1

Isn’t every human being both a scientist and an artist; and in writing of human experience, isn’t there a good deal to be said for recognizing that fact and for using both methods? Picture Quote #1

A man climbs a mountain because it is there. An artist makes a work of art because it is not there Picture Quote #1

The artist is always searching for the meaning of life, his own and that of mankind, searching for truth. A system of uncertainty has entered our daily life. The pressures of mechanization and uniformity to which it is subject call for protest and the artist has only one means of expressing this, by music Picture Quote #1

Carving is a source of joy to the artist... To attack the raw material, gradually to extract a shape out of it following one’s own desire, or, sometimes, the inspiration of the material itself: this gives the sculptor great joy Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have time to be anyone’s muse... I was too busy rebelling against my family and learning to be an artist Picture Quote #1

An artist can respect the backfield of fact before which every human being stands and choose not to address those facts Picture Quote #1

The personal lives of painters are tragic and inevitable and do not explain the artist. For the artist is his work and no longer human Picture Quote #1

If you address yourself to an audience, you accept at the outset the basic premises that unite the audience. You put on the audience, repeating cliches familiar to it. But artists don’t address themselves to audiences; they create audiences. The artist talks to himself out loud. If what he has to say is significant, others hear and are affected Picture Quote #1

There are dangers for an artist in any academic environment. Academia rewards people who know their own minds and have developed an ironclad confidence in speaking them. That kind of assurance is death for an artist Picture Quote #1

The artist should fear to become the slave of detail. He should strive to express his thought and not the surface of it. What avails a storm cloud accurate in form and color if the storm is not therein? Picture Quote #1

There is no such thing as failure for an artist, unless failure is the refusal to attempt, the unwillingness to dream Picture Quote #1

To be artist, and lover, that is the true goal, the only adequate objective, the divinely destined end for man Picture Quote #1

I never decided at all to be an artist; being an artist seems to have happened to me Picture Quote #1

Art does not have to be dull, to be effective; the artist does not have to be a bore, to be real Picture Quote #1

An artist feels vulnerable to begin with; and yet the only answer is to recklessly discard more armour Picture Quote #1

In printmaking, I essentially use the same process as in painting with one important exception... to try, with sensitivity to the medium to emphasize what printing can do best... better than say, painting or collaging or watercolour or drawing or whatever... Otherwise, the artist expresses the same vision in graphics that he does in his other work Picture Quote #1

The stuff of thought is the seed of the artist. Dreams form the bristles of the artist’s brush. As the eye functions as the brain’s sentry, I communicate my innermost perceptions through the art, my worldview Picture Quote #1

When you record for a label, they own that material in perpetuity, meaning that they can release, chose not to release, or repackage it any way they so choose... with or without the permission of the artist Picture Quote #1

As a young woman, I had been seeking experience, knowledge, truth, the stuff writers need in their work, but when the artist actually kicked in, I came to understand that in this romantic relationship I was not free to be myself, or to find myself, in order to begin the true work I needed to do Picture Quote #1

I wish I could balance life as an artist and a mother, but sometimes when I am doing live concerts, I have to ask people to help me in my other role Picture Quote #1

If the artist starts evaluating himself, it’s an enormous block, isn’t it? Picture Quote #1

How will I be remembered? As a technician or artist? As a humorist or a visionary? Picture Quote #1

It is a fact that each song an artist creates is unique and although fans tend to be loyal, ultimately the quality of the record will decide how it sells Picture Quote #1

I’ve been, I think, able to stay grounded in such a crazy business, and I attribute that a lot to my family, and especially to my mother. Because, you know, she just was always there to kind of remind me of what priorities should be. O.K., yes, I’m an artist, I’m a performer, but I’m a sister, I’m a daughter, I’m a granddaughter, I’m an aunt. Those things have to be as important, if not more important, than my career Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really considered myself just a street artist. I consider myself a populist Picture Quote #1

I’m an artist... The difference is that I don’t tell anybody. I refuse to give them new reasons to laugh at me Picture Quote #1

She died with a knife in her hand in her kitchen, where she had cooked for fifty years, and the death was solemnly listed in the newspaper as that of an artist Picture Quote #1

The thrill of creation which we experience which we experience when we see a masterpiece is not unlike the feeling of the artist who created it; such a work is a fragment of the world which he has annexed and which belongs to him alone Picture Quote #1

I still paint. I love the joy that color can give to our lives and to our communities. I try to bring something of the artist in me to my politics Picture Quote #1
