Art Is Quotes

All serious art is being destroyed by commerce. Most people don’t want art to be disturbing. They want it to be escapist. I don’t think art should be escapist. That’s a waste of time Picture Quote #1

Science, like nothing else among the institutions of mankind, grows like a weed every year. Art is subject to arbitrary fashion, religion is inwardly focused and driven only to sustain itself, law shuttles between freeing us and enslaving us Picture Quote #1

Concision in art is a necessity and an elegance. The verbose painter bores: who will get rid of all these trimmings? Picture Quote #1

Art is not escape, but a way of finding order in chaos, a way of confronting life Picture Quote #1

To me the purpose of art is to produce something alive... but with a separate, and of course one hopes, with an everlasting life of its own Picture Quote #1

The activity of art is... as important as the activity of language itself, and as universal Picture Quote #1

Admittedly, art is somewhat like spit. It does not repulse or even worry is while it is still inside of us, but once it exits our body, it becomes disgusting Picture Quote #1

Art is inherently subversive. It’s destabilizing. It undermines what you already know and what you already think. It is the opposite of propaganda Picture Quote #1

You want to know if we’re animals? When I’m on stage with the volume rippling my body like a glass of water and thousands of people are generating heat in my direction, there’s no time for thought. My basement facilities take over completely. Sure it’s animal. People might like to talk about art, but look where art is, in the gutter Picture Quote #1

A mediocre man copying nature will never produce a work of art, because he really looks without seeing, and though he may have noted each detail minutely, the result will be flat and without character... the artist on the contrary, sees; that is to say, his eye, grafted on his heart, reads deeply into the bosom of nature Picture Quote #1

Why must art be static? You look at an abstraction, sculptured or painted, an entirely exciting arrangement of planes, spheres, nuclei, entirely without meaning. It would be perfect but it is always still. The next step in sculpture is motion Picture Quote #1

A work of art is a work of order, and if the artist is to put the stamp of his own mind on his work, he must arrange, modify, and dispose of his materials so that they may appear in a more agreeable and beautiful manner than they would have assumed without his interference Picture Quote #1

To abstract is to draw out the essence of a matter. To abstract in art is to separate certain fundamentals from irrelevant material which surrounds them Picture Quote #1

The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but rather the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity Picture Quote #1

Because of their origin and purpose, the meanings of art are of a different order from the operational meanings of science and technics: they relate, not to external means and consequences, but to internal transformations, and unless it produce these internal transformations the work of art is either perfunctory or dead Picture Quote #1

Art is actually based on the notion that if you would really celebrate an idea or a principle, you must think, you must plan, you must put yourself completely in the state of devotion, and not simply give the first thing that comes to your head Picture Quote #1

Art is a weapon that penetrates the eyes, the ears, the deepest and subtlest human feelings Picture Quote #1

The object of art is to crystallize emotion into thought, and then fix it in form Picture Quote #1

Computer programming is an art, because it applies accumulated knowledge to the world, because it requires skill and ingenuity, and especially because it produces objects of beauty. A programmer who subconsciously views himself as an artist will enjoy what he does and will do it better Picture Quote #1

A man climbs a mountain because it is there. An artist makes a work of art because it is not there Picture Quote #1

Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist’s work is not the artist’s work Picture Quote #1

Art begins when a man wishes to immortalize the most vivid moment he has ever lived Picture Quote #1

Filmmaking, like any other art, is a very profound means of human communication; beyond the professional pleasure of succeeding or the pain of failing, you do want your film to be seen, to communicate itself to other people Picture Quote #1

The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people Picture Quote #1

In a world of lies and liars, an honest work of art is always an act of social responsibility Picture Quote #1

The underlying tension of a lot of my art is to try and look through the surface appearance of things. Inevitably, one way of getting beneath the surface is to introduce a hole, a window into what lies below Picture Quote #1

My art is different than yours; it consists not in defeating others, but in not being defeated Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Art is free, but of course you have to be alert to catch it when it comes onto the canvas. I don’t choose the ideas, they choose me. I don’t wait for them. They come without my permission! Picture Quote #1

Mom used to frame everything we made, and now I’m following her example. It makes children so proud to see their work on display instead of hidden away. I figure if I take my children’s work seriously, maybe they will too. And it reinforces the idea that art is not something alien and esoteric. Anyone can make art Picture Quote #1
