I want to reach that condensation of sensations that constitutes a picture.
art quotes by DENA GROQUET-1456598546
When painting, an artist must take care not to trap his soul in the canvas.
art quotes by PABLO PICASSO-1456597057
The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
art quotes by PABLO PICASSO-1456595275
As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language.
art quotes by JOHN ANTHONY CIARDISATURDAY REVIEW-1456590664
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea.
art quotes by ERNST LEVY-1456580655
Man will begin to recover the moment he takes art as seriously as physics, chemistry or money.
art quotes by GEORGIA O'KEEFFE-1456578633
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.
art quotes by AARON HOWARD-1456577313
Art is...a question mark in the minds of those who want to know what's happening.
art quotes by RALPH WALDO EMERSON-1456575722
Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free.
art quotes by KENNETH TYNAN-1456574460
The buttocks are the most aesthetically pleasing part of the body because they are non-functional. Although they conceal an essential orifice, these pointless globes are as near as the human form can ever come to abstract art.
art quotes by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE-1456563470
There is no surer method of evading the world than by following Art, and no surer method of linking oneself to it than by Art.
art quotes by T.S. ELIOT-1456558327
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
art quotes by GEORGES ROUAULT-1456556636
For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh.
art quotes by ANDY WARHOL-1456552812
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
art quotes by OSCAR WILDE-1456510229
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
art quotes by HENRY MILLER-1456508732
The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.
art quotes by JOHN UPDIKE-1456505643
What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.
art quotes by G.K. CHESTERTON-1456485154
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
art quotes by HOWARD IKEMOTO-1456459926
When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?"
art quotes by FRAN LEBOWITZ-1456412007
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
art quotes by THE NEW YORKER-1456403572
But that's what being an artist is - feeling crummy before everyone else feels crummy.
art quotes by WYNETKA ANN REYNOLDS-1456402312
Anyone who says you can't see a thought simply doesn't know art.
art quotes by ANDRE GIDE-1456400680
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
art quotes by HENRY MOORE-1456397603
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
art quotes by EDGAR DEGAS-1456383108
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
art quotes by OSCAR WILDE-1456381507
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
art quotes by PAUL STRAND-1456378597
The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.
art quotes by THEODORE DREISER-1456377315
Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.
art quotes by E.M. FORSTER-1456374511
To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way.
art quotes by ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER-1456334612
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.
art quotes by HENRI MATISSE-1456331548
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
art quotes by PABLO PICASSO-1456330078
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
art quotes by SCHUMANN-1456310531
To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.
art quotes by AMY LOWELL-1456294520
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
art quotes by KOJIRO TOMITA-1456292929
It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet.
art quotes by LEONARDO DA VINCI-1456291488
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
art quotes by STELLA ADLER-1456246398
Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.
art quotes by PABLO PICASSO-1456245174
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
art quotes by WILLIAM FAULKNER-1456242870
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
art quotes by SCOTT ADAMS-1456206465
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
art quotes by HENRY WARD BEECHER-1456204910
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
