Text Quotes
All authentic art is conceived at a sacred moment and nourished in a blessed hour; an inner impulse creates it, often without the artist being aware of it (The Artist Quotes)
A work of art is finished, from the point of view of the artist, when feeling and perception have resulted in a spiritual synthesis (The Artist Quotes)
Some degree of withdrawal serves to nurture man’s creative powers. The artist and the scientist bring out of the dark void, like the mysterious universe itself, the unique, the strange, the unexpected. Numerous observers have testified upon the loneliness of the process (The Artist Quotes)
The artist must have something to say, for mastery over form is not his goal but rather the adapting of form to its inner meaning (The Artist Quotes)
Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It’s crucial to an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it? I think I learned that from the artists, from my grandmother, from all the creative people I’ve spent time with over the years (The Artist Quotes)
Rules serve no purpose; they can only do harm. Not only must the artist’s mind be clear, it must also be free. His fancy should not be hindered and weighed down by a mechanical servility to such rules (The Artist Quotes)
Drawing is the most inalienable medium. It is private; it practically doesn’t have an audience in mind, just the artist’s expression (The Artist Quotes)
What distinguishes the artist from the dilettante? Only the pain the artist feels. The dilettante looks only for pleasure in art (The Artist Quotes)
Pointed criticism, if accurate, often gives the artist an inner sense of relief. The criticism that damages is that which disparages, dismisses, ridicules, or condemns (The Artist Quotes)
I have a feeling that art is something you do for yourself, and that any time you turn your decisions over to someone else you’re postponing at best, your own development. The atmosphere of the workshop should be that of trying out one’s own work and accepting the signals from others but not accepting the dictation of others because that is a violation of the spirit of art. Art can’t be done by somebody else, it has got to be done by the artist (The Artist Quotes)
The framework of the artist’s ideas is clearly only that which he is forever seeking for universality, and must be far wider than the framework of the ideals of the patriot (The Artist Quotes)
As in creating some significant work the artist first experiences something akin to dream awareness that becomes clarified in the creative process itself, so we must first have a vision of the future sufficiently entrancing that it will sustain us in the transformation of the human project that is now in process (The Artist Quotes)
The artist must raise the cup of his vision aloft to the gods in the high hope that they will pour into it the sweet mellow wine of inspiration (The Artist Quotes)
Wildness we might consider as the root of the authentic spontaneities of any being. It is that wellspring of creativity whence comes the instinctive activities that enable all living beings to obtain their food, to find shelter, to bring forth their young: to sing and dance and fly through the air and swim through the depths of the sea. This is the same inner tendency that evokes the insight of the poet, the skill of the artist and the power of the shaman (The Artist Quotes)
Calligraphy may well be simply an artistic version of another form, that is the ideograms which make up the poem, but then not only does it reflect the character and temperament of the artist but... also betrays his heart rate, his breathing (The Artist Quotes)
Chess players are madmen of a certain quality, the way the artist is supposed to be, and isn’t, in general (The Artist Quotes)
Cable had a latitude to move which created less censorship and bestowed upon the artists, the writers and the creators, more liberty to create their shows (The Artist Quotes)
Anyone can take pictures. What’s difficult is thinking about them, organizing them, and trying to use them in some way so that some meaning can be constructed out of them. That’s really where the work of the artist begins (The Artist Quotes)
Artists are a very important part of our society because they make a great contribution to our values. The artist creates a value system that we all grow up on, whether we know it or not (The Artist Quotes)
Sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left (The Artist Quotes)
The ultimate aim of all artistic activity is building!... Architects, sculptors, painters, we must all get back to craft!... The artist is a heightened manifestation of the craftsman... Let us form... a new guild of craftsmen without the class divisions that set out to raise an arrogant barrier between craftsmen and artists!... Let us together create the new building of the future which will be all in one: architecture and sculpture and painting (The Artist Quotes)
The camera for an artist is just another tool. It is no more mechanical than a violin if you analyze it. Beyond the rudiments, it is up to the artist to create art, not the camera (The Artist Quotes)
Women had to work like slaves in the art world, but a lot of men got to the top through their charm. And it hurt them. To be young and pretty didn’t help a woman in the art world, because the social scene, and the buying scene, was in the hands of women – women who had money. They wanted male artists who would come alone and be their charming guests. Rothko could be very charming. It was a court. And the artist buffoons came to the court to entertain, to charm. Now it has changed, now the younger men are in – older women and younger men (The Artist Quotes)
My cloud photographs are equivalents of my most profound life experiences, my basic philosophy of life. All art is an equivalent of the artist’s most profound life experiences (The Artist Quotes)
It is the poet and philosopher who provide the community of objectives in which the artist participates. Their chief preoccupation, like the artist, is the expression in concrete form of their notions of reality. Like him, they deal with the verities of time and space, life and death, and the heights of exaltation as well as the depths of despair. The preoccupation with these eternal problems creates a common ground which transcends the disparity in the means used to achieve them (The Artist Quotes)
When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who would be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations (The Artist Quotes)
Once it is out of his hand the artist has no control over the way a viewer will perceive the work. Different people will understand the same thing in a different way (The Artist Quotes)
Most ideas that are successful are ludicrously simple. Successful ideas generally have the appearance of simplicity because they seem inevitable. In terms of idea the artist is free to even surprise himself. Ideas are discovered by intuition (The Artist Quotes)
What the work of art looks like isn’t too important. It has to look like something if it has a physical form. No matter what form it may finally have it must begin with an idea. It is the process of conception and realization with which the artist is concerned (The Artist Quotes)
A work of art may be understood as a conductor from the artist’s mind to the viewer’s. But it may never reach the viewer, or it may never leave the artist’s mind (The Artist Quotes)
