Artist Quotes

How would you judge an artist who mutilated animals in a gallery because it was visually arresting? How riveting would the sound of a tortured animal need to be to make you want to hear it that badly? Try to imagine any end other than taste for which it would be justifiable to do what we do to farmed animals Picture Quote #1

Reverence for life... does not allow the scholar to live for his science alone, even if he is very useful... the artist to exist only for his art, even if he gives inspiration to many... It refuses to let the business man imagine that he fulfills all legitimate demands in the course of his business activities. It demands from all that they should sacrifice a portion of their own lives for others Picture Quote #1

Each has his own happiness in his hands, as the artist handles the rude clay he seeks to reshape it into a figure; yet it is the same with this art as with all others: only the capacity for it is innate; the art itself must be learned and painstakingly practiced Picture Quote #1

All art speaks in signs and symbols. No one can explain how it happens that the artist can waken to life in us the existence that he has seen and lives through. No artistic speech is the adequate expression of what it represents; its vital force comes from what is unspoken in it Picture Quote #1

When you begin a picture you often make some pretty discoveries. You must be on guard against these. Destroy the thing, do it over several times. In each destroying of a beautiful discovery, the artist does not really suppress it, but rather condenses it, makes it more substantial. What comes out in the end is the result of discarded finds. Otherwise you become your own connoisseur Picture Quote #1

All great human deeds both consume and transform their doers. Consider an athlete, a scientist, an artist, or an entrepreneur. In service of their goals, they lay down time, energy and many other choices and pleasures; in return, they become most truly themselves. A false destiny may be spotted by the fact that it consumes without transforming, without giving back the enlarged self Picture Quote #1

The first thing you do when you sit down at the computer: If you’re an artist, a leader or someone seeking to make a difference, the first thing you do should be to lay tracks to accomplish your goals, not to hear how others have reacted/ responded/ insisted to what happened yesterday Picture Quote #1

My mission is to communicate, to wake people up, to give them my energy and accept theirs. We’re all in it together, and I respond emotionally as a worker, a mother, an artist, and a human being with a voice. We all have a voice. We have the responsibility to exercise it, to use it Picture Quote #1

The real artist has no pride. Unfortunately he sees that his art has no limits. He feels obscurely how far he is from the goal. While he is perhaps being admired by others, he mourns the fact that he has not yet reached the point to which his better genius, like a distant sun, ever beckons to him Picture Quote #1

Everything I wanted before, I want twice as much now. And that doesn’t mean material things; it means to explore more, to think more. Being an artist doesn’t start because you’re 21, and it doesn’t end because you’re 51. You are who you are until the day you die Picture Quote #1

I have always believed that art should be a deep pleasure... ther e is always, everywhere, an enormous amount of suffering. But I believe my duty as an artist is to overcome and alleviate the sterility of despair... New ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling... I do believe that painting can change the world Picture Quote #1

For a long time I wanted to be a comic strip artist but when I started doing them in my teens they were getting really elaborate with tons of poses and a lot of information Picture Quote #1

I’ve been touring for so long, I’ve kind of honed into exactly what I am, I’m an artist so if you like it, you like it, if you don’t you don’t, you know? Picture Quote #1

I think they want to keep it separate, but I’ve never been a crossover artist for some reason Picture Quote #1

The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of people who can now see me as an artist for the first time Picture Quote #1

I do not feel any artist can produce great art without putting great personality into it. It is always a piece of you that goes on the screen or the canvass Picture Quote #1

As an artist you actually do have to make a choice to be an outsider. If you’re an outsider you have the freedom to say what people on the inside don’t dare to say Picture Quote #1

Pollock was well known, certainly, but for all the wrong reasons. He was known as much for being wild and unconventional in his working methods as for being a great artist Picture Quote #1

What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work Picture Quote #1

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up Picture Quote #1

You can never tell when an artist really will take up someone’s work and work with it happily Picture Quote #1

If a patron buys from an artist who needs money, the patron then makes himself equal to the artist; he is building art into the world; he creates Picture Quote #1

I think the definition of an artist is not necessarily tied into excellence or talent; an artist is somebody who, if you took away their freedom to make art, would lose their mind Picture Quote #1

When I came up, there was room for the new and the old. For every new artist, an old one didn’t have to be pushed out Picture Quote #1

Everyone in my family is an artist in some capacity whether they’re musicians, painters, or sculptors, so it’s in their blood Picture Quote #1

I would hardly call myself an artist in that sense; I doodle, I draw, I’m not a trained artist, I couldn’t sit down and do an accurate portrait of anyone Picture Quote #1

The ego certainly is the biggest obstacle as an artist or performer, so any chance you get to destroy that is really healthy Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent my life pursing excellence as an artist, which is what I always wanted to do anyhow 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 the devil either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged Picture Quote #1
