Art Making Quotes

Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art. Andy Warhol
Strong Mercy: My desires are many and my cry is pitiful, but ever didst thou save me by hard refusals; and this strong mercy has been wrought into my life through and through. Day by day thou art making me worthy of the simple, great gifts that thou gavest to me unasked---this sky and the light, this body and the life and the mind---saving me from perils of overmuch desire. There are times when I languidly linger and times when I awaken and hurry in search of my goal; but cruelly thou hidest... Rabindranath Tagore
The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist. The need to produce a great work of art makes it hard to produce any art at all. Julia Cameron
Claude Debussy quote: "Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art."
Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art. Claude Debussy
To write is to forget. Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. Music soothes, the visual arts exhilarates, the performing arts (such as acting and dance) entertain. Literature, however, retreats from life by turning in into slumber. The other arts make no such retrea? some because they use visible and hence vital formulas, others because they live from human life itself. This isn't the case with literature. Literature stimulates life. A novel is a story of what never was, a... Fernando Pessoa
Anyway, Art [making] is a magic which makes the hours melt away and even days dissolve into seconds, isn't that so, dear lady? Leonora Carrington
Robert Rodriguez quote: "I always wanted to be a stay-at-home dad making art, making..."
I always wanted to be a stay-at-home dad making art, making movies. Robert Rodriguez
The first demand any work of art makes upon us is to surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way. -An Experiment in Criticism C. S. Lewis
How Rhythm Beautifies.- Rhythm casts a veil over reality; it causes various artificiality’s of speech and obscurities of thought; by the shadow it throws upon thought it sometimes conceals it, and sometimes brings it into prominence. As shadow is necessary to beauty, so the “dull” is necessary to lucidity. Art makes the aspect of life endurable by throwing over it the veil of obscure thought. Friedrich Nietzsche
The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way. (There is no good asking first whether the work before you deserves such a surrender, for until you have surrendered you cannot possibly find out.) C. S. Lewis
The contemplation of beauty, whether it be a uniquely tinted sunset, a radiant face, or a work of art, makes us glance back unwittingly at our personal past and juxtapose ourselves and our inner being with the utterly unattainable beauty revealed to us. Vladimir Nabokov
This is joy's bonfire, then, where love's strong arts. Make of so noble individual parts. One fire of four inflaming eyes, and of two loving hearts. John Donne
Mason Cooley quote: "If you are going to break a Law of Art, make the crime..."
If you are going to break a Law of Art, make the crime interesting. Mason Cooley
Edmund Clarence Stedman quote: "Fashion is a potency in art, making it hard to judge between..."
Fashion is a potency in art, making it hard to judge between the temporary and the lasting. Edmund Clarence Stedman
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
