Text Quotes
Now, the language that had grown up and formed itself on those principles is what one is dealing with, and the problem is to bring a work of art in that medium into another medium formed on different principles and heard and understood in a different way (Work Of Art Quotes)
Basically, I viewed any work of art as an imposition of another person’s taste, and saw the individual making this imposition as a kind of dictator (Work Of Art Quotes)
Personality is essential. It is in every work of art. When someone walks on stage for a performance and has charisma, everyone is convinced that he has personality. I find that charisma is merely a form of showmanship. Movie stars usually have it. A politician has to have it (Work Of Art Quotes)
In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist’s obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession... That’s the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it (Work Of Art Quotes)
In the world of reality the more beautiful a work of art, the longer, we may be sure, was the time required to make it, and the greater the number of different minds which assisted in its development (Work Of Art Quotes)
I want my whole life to be a great work of art, not just my art. And that means paying attention to my entire life and trying to make sure my whole life is balanced (Work Of Art Quotes)
A work of art when placed in a gallery loses its charge, and becomes a portable object or surface disengaged from the outside world (Work Of Art Quotes)
The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding (Work Of Art Quotes)
Every great work of art... is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life (Work Of Art Quotes)
The production of a work of art is determined by the material and intellectual climate in which a man lives and dies (Work Of Art Quotes)
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed (Work Of Art Quotes)
It is my greatest joy to live a really good part, even though it imposes great strain. An artist is tired but proud when he has created a great work of art. So it is with the actor who really lives a great role and is proud of the part he played (Work Of Art Quotes)
The literary critic, or the critic of any other specific form of artistic expression, may detach himself from the world for as long as the work of art he is contemplating appears to do the same (Work Of Art Quotes)
The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own traveling brotherhood (Work Of Art Quotes)
A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they’re capable of understanding (Work Of Art Quotes)
In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. This affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels against the ugliness and shabbiness of the subject matter (Work Of Art Quotes)
A work of art wastes away and becomes lustreless in surroundings where it has a price but not a value. It radiates only when surrounded by love. It is bound to wilt in a world where the rich have no time and the cultivated no money. But it never harmonizes with borrowed greatness (Work Of Art Quotes)
Any work of art that can be understood is the product of journalism. The rest, called literature, is a dossier of human imbecility for the guidance of future professors (Work Of Art Quotes)
I would simply ask why so many critics, so many writers, so many philosophers take such satisfaction in professing that the experience of a work of art is ineffable, that it escapes by definition all rational understanding; why are they so eager to concede without a struggle the defeat of knowledge; and where does their irrepressible need to belittle rational understanding come from, this rage to affirm the irreduci (Work Of Art Quotes)
We must get beyond passions, like a great work of art. In such miraculous harmony. We should learn to love each other so much to live outside of time... detached (Work Of Art Quotes)
Everybody has that feeling when they look at a work of art and it’s right, that sudden familiarity, a sort of... recognition, as though they were creating it themselves, as though it were being created through them while they look at it or listen to it (Work Of Art Quotes)
Every great work of art has two faces, one towards its own time and one towards future, towards eternity (Work Of Art Quotes)
The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer, but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again (Work Of Art Quotes)
The representative element in a work of art may or may not be harmful, but it is always irrelevant. For to appreciate a work of art, we must bring with us nothing from life, no knowledge of its affairs and ideas, no familiarity with its emotions (Work Of Art Quotes)
We’re all just a bundle of habits shaped by our memories. And to the extent that we control our lives, we do so by gradually altering those habits, which is to say the networks of our memory. No lasting joke, or invention, or insight, or work of art was ever produced by an external memory. Not yet, at least (Work Of Art Quotes)
Don’t underestimate the therapeutic value of gardening. It’s the one area where we can all use our nascent creative talents to make a truly satisfying work of art. Every individual, with thought, patience and a large portion of help from nature, has it in them to create their own private paradise: truly a thing of beauty and a joy for ever (Work Of Art Quotes)
The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good (Work Of Art 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 (Work Of Art Quotes)
It is sometimes asserted that a surgical operation is or should be a work of art... fit to rank with those of the painter or sculptor... That proposition does not admit of discussion. It is a product of the intellectual innocence which I think we surgeons may fairly claim to possess, and which is happily not inconsistent with a quite adequate worldly wisdom (Work Of Art Quotes)
More important than a work of art itself is what it will sow. Art can die, a painting can disappear. What counts is the seed (Work Of Art Quotes)
