Art Is Quotes

Art is constant tension and release. That is where artists live, between the two, or at times, submerged in either. The challenge is never ending perfection is impossible, it could always be different, better, or worse. It’s not important, just process and striving to be like the man who walks the trapeze maintaining balance Picture Quote #1

The secret principle of martial arts is not vanquishing the attacker, but resolving to avoid an encounter before its occurrence. To become an object of an attack is an indication that there was an opening in one’s guard, and the important thing is to be on guard at all times Picture Quote #1

Art is not communicative, art is not reflexive. Art, science, philosophy are neither contemplative, neither reflexive, nor communicative. They are creative, that’s all Picture Quote #1

Art is a reflection on life. Life isn’t something we can cut and fix. It’s always in a state of flux Picture Quote #1

Life is the leaves which shape and nourish a plant, but art is the flower which embodies its meaning Picture Quote #1

The real art is not to come up with extraordinary clever words but to make ordinary simple words do extraordinary things. To use the language that we all use and to make amazing things occur Picture Quote #1

The power of art is that it can connect us to one another, and to larger truths about what it means to be alive and what it means to be human Picture Quote #1

Art becomes a spiritual process depending upon the degree of commitment that you bring to it. Every experience becomes direct food for your art. Then your art teaches you about life Picture Quote #1

Art is like therapy; what comes up is what comes up. It may be dark, but that’s what comes up. You may want to keep some of it in a drawer but never judge it Picture Quote #1

No artist knows everything... but since every artist knows more than he can tell, all art is lying by omission Picture Quote #1

Art is art, nature is nature, you cannot improve upon it... Pictures should be inspired by nature, but made in the soul of the artist. It is the soul of the individual that counts Picture Quote #1

I don’t play the lottery. I don’t care what my horoscope says. I think most things about the world could be improved if people thought more about what they’re doing. When someone gets upset with their computer, I tend to side with the computer. I think art is overrated, and bridges are underrated. In fact, I don’t understand why bridges aren’t art. It seems to me they’re penalized for having a use. If I make a bridge that ends in midair, that’s a sculpture. But put it between two landmasses and let it ferry two hundred thousand cars per day and it’s infrastructure. That makes no sense Picture Quote #1

I believe that every innovative thought comes from a creative mindset... A creative mindset is what drives our world, and art is the base of that Picture Quote #1

Every piece of art is a mirror and serves the function of reflectivity to expose to you and reveal to you more of who you are Picture Quote #1

Being smart in the arts is the same as being smart in engineering is the same as being smart in writing is the same as being smart in anything, really. It’s the ability to manipulate all the pieces of the puzzle in your mind, try to fit them together, and when they don’t fit quite right... you sand the edges/corners and make them all fit Picture Quote #1

If art is therapy, if art is to inspire, if art is a weapon, if it is a medicine to heal soul wounds, if it makes one not feel alone in his or her visions, or if it serves as transportation to a higher self, then that is where I aspire to live every day Picture Quote #1

The purpose of pure science is to observe phenomena and to trace their laws; the purpose of art is to produce, modify, or destroy. Strictly speaking there is no such thing as applied science, for, the moment the attempt is made to apply, science passes into the realm of art Picture Quote #1

It’s not about facts, it’s about feelings. It’s about remembering feelings and happiness. A definition of art is that it makes concrete our most subtle emotions. I think the highest form of art is music. It’s the most abstract of all art expression Picture Quote #1

Why do most great pictures look uncontrived? Why do photographers bother with the deception, especially since it so often requires the hardest work of all? The answer is, I think, that the deception is necessary if the goal of art is to be reached: only pictures that look as if they had been easily made can convincingly suggest that beauty is commonplace Picture Quote #1

Art is like a kite. You have to pull the string hard in order to stretch it to its limit, but you don’t want to pull it so hard that you break the thread, because the thread connects you to the land and its peoples Picture Quote #1

Do not copy nature. Art is an abstraction. Rather, bring your art forth by dreaming in front of her and think more of creation Picture Quote #1

Something impacts me emotionally, art is a kind of outlet, and I figure it’s the same for a lot of artists. The way my mind deals with things is cinematic Picture Quote #1

Art is not just ornamental, an enhancement of life. It is a path in itself, a way out of the predictable and conventional... a map to self discovery Picture Quote #1

The proper timing of an attacking plan is a difficult matter which places great strain on a player’s nerves. Mastery of this art is required for success in the international arena, but perfect mastery eludes even the very best chessplayers! Picture Quote #1

Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up Picture Quote #1

Art is supposed to punch you in the brain, and it’s supposed to stay punched Picture Quote #1

Art is a path on which we honour our world. Art may not be the only path, but it is a good path, even though at times a difficult one. As bearers of this honour, we artists do not need to simply render our world as we see it but as we might ourselves redesign it. As artists, one of our privileges is to invent Picture Quote #1

This is what I think art is and what I demand of it: that it pull everyone in, that it show one person another’s most intimate thoughts and feelings, that it throw open the window of the soul Picture Quote #1

If the art is created with the whole person, then the work will come out whole. Education must teach, reach, and vibrate the whole person rather than merely transfer knowledge Picture Quote #1

Art does not organize parties, nor is it the servant or colleague of power. Rather, the work of art becomes a political force simply through the faithful representation of the spirit. It is a political act to create an image of the self or of the collective Picture Quote #1
