Art Is Quotes (page 18)

I think TV promulgates the idea that good art is just art which makes people like and depend on the vehicle that brings them the art. David Foster Wallace
The fact that biological, or "natural" rules might help in the creation of a computer generated work of art is interesting, but even a wonderful work of art made in this fashion isn't the same as a person, with all his or her experiences and emotions involved, making art. Steven Levy
Joanna Russ quote: "Minority art, vernacular art, is marginal art. Only on the..."
Minority art, vernacular art, is marginal art. Only on the margins does growth occur. Joanna Russ
The art of reading is to skip judiciously. Whole libraries may be skipped these days, when we have the results of them in our modern culture without going over the ground again. And even of the books we decide to read, there are almost always large portions which do not concern us, and which we are sure to forget the day after we have read them. The art is to skip all that does not concern us, while missing nothing that we really need. No external guidance can teach us this; for nobody but... Philip Gilbert Hamerton

Even in a personal sense, after all, art is an intensified life. By art one is more deeply satisfied and more rapidly used up. It engraves on the countenance of its servant the traces of imaginary and intellectual adventures, and even if he has outwardly existed in cloistral tranquility, it leads in the long term to overfastidiousness, over-refinement, nervous fatigue and overstimulation, such as can seldom result from a life of the most extravagant passions and pleasures. Thomas Mann
It has come to this, that the lover of art is one, and the lover of nature another, though true art is but the expression of our love of nature. Henry David Thoreau
Edward Abbey quote: "Great art is never perfect; perfect art is never great."
Great art is never perfect; perfect art is never great. Edward Abbey
Eduardo Galeano quote: "All I know is this: art is art, or it's shit"
All I know is this: art is art, or it's shit Eduardo Galeano
But art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows Beauty, that has music in its soul and the color of sunsets in its headkerchiefs; that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance, too. W. E. B. Du Bois
Men and women who are lonely create. Those who are gregarious rarely do... Any poet would rather bed with a girl than write a poem about her. All art is the result of frustration. Art is energy deflected from its normal course in action. Burton Rascoe
If there is no mystery, for the artist, to solve inside of his art, then there's no point in it. . . . for me, every act of art is the act of solving a mystery. Truman Capote
From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type. Oscar Wilde
The good qualities in our soul are most successfully and forcefully awakened by the power of art. Just as science is the intellect of the world, art is its soul. Maxim Gorky
