Art Is Quotes

Art is not chaste. Those ill prepared should be allowed no contact with art. Art is dangerous. If it is chaste, it is not art. Pablo Picasso
Art is central to all our lives, not just the better-off and educated. . . I know that from my own story, and from the evidence of every child ever born? they all want to hear and to tell stories, to sing, to make music, to act out little dramas, to paint pictures, to make sculptures. This is born in and we breed it out. And then, when we have bred it out, we say that art is elitist, and at the same time we either fetishize art? the high prices, the jargon, the inaccessibility? or we ignore... Jeanette Winterson
Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art. Pablo Picasso
Art Is a Way Out. Do not let life overwhelm you. When the old paths are choked with the dbris of failure, look for newer and fresher paths. Art is just such a path. Art is distilled from suffering. Nathanael West
Art is what we call... the thing an artist does. It's not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the ... eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist. Seth Godin
Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sens? he is "collective man? one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind. Carl Jung
Art is the process of evoking pity and terror, which is not abstract at all but very human. What the self-styled modern artists are doing is a sort of unemotional pseudointellectual masturbation . . . whereas creative art is more like intercourse, in which the artist must seduce -- render emotional -- his audience, each time. Robert A. Heinlein
Art is love-times-love; the creator loves it and his audience adores it. To miss the sensation of loving art is to miss a kind of parenthood—false pregnancy perhaps—but as Van Gogh said, "If, defrauded of the power to create physically, a man tries to create thoughts in place of children, he is still part of humanity"...a big part. Vincent Price
Art is never the voice of a country, it is an even more precious thing, the voice of the individual, doing its best to speak, not comfort of any sort, but truth. And the art that speaks it most unmistakably, most directly, most variously, most fully, is fiction... Eudora Welty
Octavio Paz quote: "Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an..."
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game. Octavio Paz
Cyril Connolly quote: "art is made by the alone for the alon? The reward of art is..."
...art is made by the alone for the alon? The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication... Cyril Connolly
Bertolt Brecht quote: "Art is not a mirror. Art is a hammer."
Art is not a mirror. Art is a hammer. Bertolt Brecht
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "Art is action. The way I live my life to its highest degree is..."
Art is action. The way I live my life to its highest degree is by writing, the practice of art. Ursula K. Le Guin
Gunter Grass quote: "Art is accusation, expression, passion. Art is a fight to the..."
Art is accusation, expression, passion. Art is a fight to the finish between black charcoal and white paper. Gunter Grass
Shinichi Suzuki quote: "Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the..."
Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability. Shinichi Suzuki
