Artist Quotes

Art was not created as a way to riches. Strive to become a true artist; all else will take care of itself Picture Quote #1

Can that which has cost the artist days, weeks, months and even years of reflection be understood in a flash by a dilettante? Picture Quote #1

First be a magnificent artist and then you can do whatever, but the art must be first Picture Quote #1

Part of what we admire about a painting or a piece of music is the order which the artist has imposed upon what would otherwise have appeared disconnected or chaotic Picture Quote #1

The artist does not exist except as a personification, a figure of speech that represents the sum total of art itself. It is painting that is the genius of the painter, poetry of the poet, and a person is a creative artist to the extent that he participates in that genius Picture Quote #1

If you’re an artist, you try to keep an ear to the ground and an ear to your heart Picture Quote #1

The ugliest spectacle is that of artists selling themselves. Art as a commodity is an ugly idea... The artist as businessman is uglier than the businessman as artist Picture Quote #1

And do you agree with me, that the first condition of an artist should be to bear respect toward what is great, and to bow to it and acknowledge it and not attempt to extinguish great flames for the sake of making his own rushlight burn more brightly? Picture Quote #1

There is a world of communication which is not dependent on words. This is the world in which the artist operates and for him words can be dangerous unless they are examined in the light of the work. The communication is in the work and words are no substitute for this Picture Quote #1

We’re in an era where the demand is for immediate hits that are destined to become obsolescent. Six months later, everyone forgets the artist and the tune. It’s become like a con job. Producers, engineers, lawyers and accountants all make money, but the artists don’t Picture Quote #1

The artist who paints the emotions creates an enclosed world... the picture... which, like a book, has the same interest no matter where it happens to be. Such an artist, we may imagine, spends a great deal of time doing nothing but looking, both around him and inside him Picture Quote #1

Creativity is not enough... the skill of the true artist is to show the real in the light of the ideal and so transfigure it Picture Quote #1

At first, one sees the person who is modelling; but little by little, all of the possible sculptures that could be made come between artist and model Picture Quote #1

The canvas is a court where the artist is prosecutor, defendant, jury and judge. Art without a trial disappears at a glance Picture Quote #1

The only way an artist can communicate with the world at large is on the level of feeling Picture Quote #1

It does take a long time and a lot of paint to become our own artist Picture Quote #1

Is it my role as an artist to say something, to express, to be expressive? I think it’s my role as an artist to bring to expression, it’s not my role to be expressive Picture Quote #1

The first thing that any good artist has to develop is a sense of independence from the artworld. What really destroys a young artist is insecurity, the fear that everything could be taken away at any moment Picture Quote #1

I was always an artist. I was a broker to earn a living, but I was always thinking about my art Picture Quote #1

A necessary process for the artist is one which begins with a point of view, a reaction to the environment, to people, to whatever it is one is concerned with Picture Quote #1

With the most primitive means the artist creates something which the most ingenious and efficient technology will never be able to create Picture Quote #1

There’s no greatest moment in the arts. It’s a life; it’s a continuity thing. You can’t have a great moment because it’s spiritual. It’s a belief; it’s a calling. If you’re an artist, doing your own thing on your own, it’s while you’re doing it that counts. It’s a process. If you get too elated, you can get too depressed Picture Quote #1

The artist and the fundamentalist both confront the same issue, the mystery of their existence as individuals Picture Quote #1

Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my life. What else matters? When you put all your soul into a work, all that is noble in you, you cannot fail to find a kindred soul who understands you, and you do not need a host of such spirits. Is not that all an artist should wish for? Picture Quote #1

If we persist in our restless desire to know everything about the universe and ourselves, then we must not be afraid of what the artist brings back from his voyage of discovery Picture Quote #1

The fundamental purpose of the artist is the same as that of a scientist: to state a fact Picture Quote #1

The motif must always be set down in a simple way, easily grasped and understood by the beholder. By the elimination of superfluous detail, the spectator should be led along the road that the artist indicates to him, and from the first be made to notice what the artist has felt Picture Quote #1

We’re able to influence younger generations on design and art. They might not have realized they were an artist Picture Quote #1

I am a commercial artist because I paint to earn a living. We who earn money from what we produce are all commercial artists Picture Quote #1

Passion is the breath we take, the water we drink to sustain ourselves. Without air and water we perish; without passion an artist will wither and blow away Picture Quote #1
