Text Quotes
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form (The Artist Quotes)
Every artist, every scientist, every writer must decide now where he stands. The artist must take sides. He must elect to fight for freedom or for slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative (The Artist Quotes)
The artist is always a servant, and is perpetually trying to pay for the gift that has been given to him as if by miracle. Modern man, however, does not want to make any sacrifice, even though true affirmation of self can only be expressed in sacrifice (The Artist Quotes)
The earth doesn’t care where death occurs... It’s the artist, by coming in and writing about it or painting it or taking a photograph of it, that makes the earth powerful and creates death’s memory. Because the land will not remember by itself, but the artist will (The Artist Quotes)
What I strive most to achieve in art is to make you forget the material. The sculptor must... communicate whatever struck his sensibility, so that a person beholding his work may experience in its entirety the emotion felt by the artist while he observed nature (The Artist Quotes)
We usually evaluate creative process in terms of how much feeling or thinking was behind the work or how well the work was done. Isn’t there any other way of appreciating the process? What if the standard of excellence was how fully present the artist was during the process? (The Artist Quotes)
The artist accepts the limitations of form, not with fear and dread, but as the starting point of creation (The Artist Quotes)
Grace, not willpower, is what ultimately empowers us to live loving lives. Creativity, both in what spawns within the artist and the artifact, can be a vital source of that grace (The Artist Quotes)
To me, every interview, even if you love the artist, needs to be somewhat adversarial. Which doesn’t mean you need to attack the person, but you do need to look at it like you’re trying to get information that has not been written about before (The Artist Quotes)
Play is the taproot from which original art springs. It is the raw stuff that the artist channels with all his learning and technique (The Artist Quotes)
Perceptions are portraits, not photographs, and their form reveals the artist’s hand every bit as much as it reflects the things portrayed (The Artist Quotes)
As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees; but what he sees is primarily what he looks at (The Artist Quotes)
Creativity is not linear, just like the earth is not flat... If you keep going long enough you will always get back to where you started from. That is when you have lived a full life. That is the artist’s path (The Artist Quotes)
... what is so important is that you play for the artist and for the record and for the song... everything else falls into place... my solo has to be a complement to the singer and the song (The Artist Quotes)
It’s probable that in the artistic hierarchy birds are the greatest musicians existing on our planet (The Artist Quotes)
If the artist only reproduces superficial features as photography does, if he copies the lineaments of a face exactly, without reference to character, he deserves no admiration. The resemblance which he ought to obtain is that of the soul (The Artist Quotes)
It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop (The Artist Quotes)
A mediocre man copying nature will never produce a work of art, because he really looks without seeing, and though he may have noted each detail minutely, the result will be flat and without character... the artist on the contrary, sees; that is to say, his eye, grafted on his heart, reads deeply into the bosom of nature (The Artist Quotes)
A work of art is a work of order, and if the artist is to put the stamp of his own mind on his work, he must arrange, modify, and dispose of his materials so that they may appear in a more agreeable and beautiful manner than they would have assumed without his interference (The Artist Quotes)
Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot physically see with his eyes... Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an explosion into unknown areas (The Artist Quotes)
Nature holds the beautiful, for the artist who has the insight to extract it. Thus, beauty lies even in humble, perhaps ugly things, and the ideal, which bypasses or improves on nature, may not be truly beautiful in the end (The Artist Quotes)
It is imperative that the artist reveal through the medium in which he is happiest, what he sees, thinks and feels about his surroundings (The Artist Quotes)
The artist must paint as he would speak. I don’t want people to speculate what I mean, I want them to understand (The Artist Quotes)
The job of the artist is not to resolve or beautify, but to hold complexities, to see and make clear (The Artist Quotes)
I think the artists of the recession will end up being a very strong force in the future. They learned about survival (The Artist Quotes)
You may be a geek. You may have geek written all over you. You should aim to be the geek they will never forget. Don’t aim to be civilized. Don’t hope that straight people will keep you on as some sort of pet. To hell with them, they put you here. You should realize what society has made of you and take full revenge. Get weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly thoroughly weird and don’t do it half way, put every ounce of your horse power into it. Have the artistic courage to realize your significance in culture (The Artist Quotes)
Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist’s work is not the artist’s work (The Artist Quotes)
In addition to the artistic influences, I am influenced by my current private life, my feelings about it and my energy level and state of health (The Artist Quotes)
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 (The Artist Quotes)
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 (The Artist Quotes)
