Great Artist Quotes

When trees mature, it is fair and moral that they are cut for man’s use, as they would soon decay and return to the earth. Trees have a yearning to live again, perhaps to provide the beauty, strength and utility to serve man, even to become an object of great artistic worth Picture Quote #1

An artist is above all a human being, profoundly human to the core. If the artist can’t feel everything that humanity feels, if the artist isn’t capable of loving until he forgets himself and sacrifices himself if necessary, if he won’t put down his magic brush and head the fight against the oppressor, then he isn’t a great artist Picture Quote #1

I wish I was better at art. I love some of the great artists of the 19th century and, compared to them, I just feel I lack this technique that they had. They have so much skill Picture Quote #1

A great artist is never a closed subject, but this catalogue is a milestone production, as useful as it is beautiful Picture Quote #1

The biographies of great artists make it abundantly clear that the creative urge is often so imperious that it battens on their humanity and yokes everything to the service of the work, even at the cost of health and ordinary human happiness. The unborn work in the psyche of the artist is a force of nature that achieves its end either with tyrannical might or with the subtle cunning of nature herself, quite regardless of the personal fate of the man who is its vehicle Picture Quote #1

Human nature is not amenable to prediction based on the trends or tendencies prevailing at the time. It is amenable to startling creativity of the kind practiced by great artists, directors, writers, musicians, actors, who know how to touch a chord in humans everywhere Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I always tend to take the liberty and the great artistic luxury of a composite form of writing Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing about great artists: They find the thing that’s most obvious to themselves, what’s most conscious and natural, and they put it out there and the audience comes Picture Quote #1

You need others. Too often people think that being unique means being isolated, and being a great artist means coming up with genius ideas out of nowhere. Nothing could be farther from the truth Picture Quote #1

A great artist... must be shaken by the naked truths that will not be comforted. This divine discontent, this disequilibrium, this state of inner tension is the source of artistic energy Picture Quote #1

The great artist is a formulation of the greatest intelligence: he is the recipient of sensations which are the most delicate and consequently the most invisible expressions of the brain Picture Quote #1

There are selections so acute that they come to define a place, with the result that we can no longer travel through that landscape without being reminded of what a great artist noticed there Picture Quote #1

The great artists do not seek their forms in the midst of the past, but take the deepest soundings they can of the genuine, profoundest of their age Picture Quote #1

I am in no sense of the word a great artist, not even a great animator; I have always had men working for me whose skills were greater than my own. I am an idea man Picture Quote #1

The purpose of subject matter is to veil technique. The great artist uses the cloak of resemblance to hide the means Picture Quote #1

I don’t know of a great artist who did not sacrifice and thereby have to wrestle with the depths of loneliness and sadness Picture Quote #1

I have noted that, barring accidents, artists whose powers wear best and last longest are those who have trained themselves to work under adversity. Great artists treasure their time with a bitter and snarling miserliness Picture Quote #1

I wish I was a great writer or a great journalist or a great scientist or a great artist; I’m not Picture Quote #1

I have been in the music industry ever since I was six years old. I have been inspired by so many great artists and of course trying to be original at the same time. I try not to work under boundaries while I’m making music Picture Quote #1

I think a great artist should be able to create any style, any form, anything from rock to pop to gospel to spiritual, just wonderful music where everybody can sing it Picture Quote #1

While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy Picture Quote #1

$What the really great artists do is they’re entirely themselves. They’re entirely themselves, they’ve got their own vision, they have their own way of fracturing reality, and if it’s authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings Picture Quote #1$

A little artist has all the tragic unhappiness and the sorrows of a great artist and he is not a great artist Picture Quote #1

All great artists draw from the same resource: the human heart, which tells us that we are all more alike than we are unalike Picture Quote #1

The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist. The need to produce a great work of art makes it hard to produce any art at all... Fear is what blocks an artist. The fear of not being good enough. The fear of not finishing. The fear of failure and of success. The fear of beginning at all Picture Quote #1

All the great artists of the world slowly slowly start growing a quality of feminineness, grace, elegance, exquisiteness. A certain flavor of softness, relaxedness, calmness and quietness surrounds them. They are no longer feverish. What I am teaching here is really to turn the whole world feminine 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

The great artist is the man who most obviously succeeds in turning his pains to advantage, in letting suffering deepens his understanding and sensibility, in growing through his pains Picture Quote #1

Hopper is simply a bad painter, but if he were a better one, he would probably not be such a great artist Picture Quote #1

I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to m Picture Quote #1
