Art Work Quotes (page 11)

Without an element of vulgarity, no man can be a work of art...I have to try and think what an artist is, apart from a hooligan who cannot live within his income of praise. Quentin Crisp
P. D. James quote: "I don't see why escapist literature shouldn't also be a work..."
I don't see why escapist literature shouldn't also be a work of art. P. D. James
I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace. Seth Godin
The malady of civilized man is his knowledge of death. The good artist, like the wise man, addresses himself to life and invests with his private vision the deeds and thoughts of men. The creation of a work of art, like an act of love, is our one small yes at the center of a vast no. Gore Vidal
When we experience a film, we consciously prime ourselves for illusion. Putting aside will and intellect, we make way for it in our imagination. The sequence of pictures plays directly on our feelings. Music works in the same fashion; I would say that there is no art form that has so much in common with film as music. Both affect our emotions directly, not via the intellect. And film is mainly rhythm; it is inhalation and exhalation in continuous sequence. Ingmar Bergman
Nothing, of course, will ever take the place of the good old fashion of 'liking' a work of art or not liking it; the more improved criticism will not abolish that primitive, that ultimate, test. Henry James
...a genuine work of art, can never be false, nor can it be discredited through the lapse of time, for it does not present an opinion but the thing itself. Arthur Schopenhauer
Ezra Pound quote: "The artist is always beginning. Any work of art which is not a..."
The artist is always beginning. Any work of art which is not a beginning, an invention, a discovery is of little worth. Ezra Pound
John Irving quote: "It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious."
It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious. John Irving
And so, he knows. He wants, he needs, to do the immoral, irresponsible thing. He wants to let this boy court his own destruction. He wants to commit that cruelty. Or (kinder, gentler version) he doesn't want to reconfirm his allegiance to the realm of the sensible, all the good people who take responsibility, who go to the right and necessary parties, who sell art made of two-by-fours and carpet remnants. He wants, for at least a little while, to live in that other, darker world - Blake's... Michael Cunningham
Charlie Chaplin quote: "There are more valid facts and details in works of art than..."
There are more valid facts and details in works of art than there are in history books. Charlie Chaplin
Much has been said about Robert, and more will be added. Young men will adopt his gait. Young girls will wear white dresses and mourn his curls. He will be condemned and adored. His excesses damned or romanticized. In the end, truth will be found in his work, the corporeal body of the artist. It will not fall away. Man cannot judge it. For art sings of God, and ultimately belongs to him. Patti Smith
No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity. Julia Cameron
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... William Gaddis
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can’t eat it. Leo Tolstoy
