Artist Quotes

You, have this whole tall, dark stranger thing going on. Not to mention the tortured artist bit. And you, have that whole blonde cool and collected perfect smart thing going on. You’re the boy all the girls want to rebel with. You, are the unattainable girl in homeroom who never gives a guy the time of day Picture Quote #1

A writer, or any man, must believe that whatever happens to him is an instrument; everything has been given for an end. This is even stronger in the case of the artist. Everything that happens, including humiliations, embarrassments, misfortunes, all has been given like clay, like material for one’s art. One must accept it Picture Quote #1

If there’s a thing, a scene, maybe, an image that you want to see real bad, that you need to see but it doesn’t exist in the world around you, at least not in the form that you envision, then you create it so that you can look at it and have it around, or show it to other people who wouldn’t have imagined it because they perceive reality in a more narrow, predictable way. And that’s it. That’s all an artist does Picture Quote #1

The artist and the mother are vehicles, not originators. They don’t create the new life, they only bear it. This is why birth is such a humbling experience. The new mom weeps in awe at the little miracle in her arms. She knows it came out of her but not from her, through her but not of her Picture Quote #1

When you begin a picture you often make some pretty discoveries. You must be on guard against these. Destroy the thing, do it over several times. In each destroying of a beautiful discovery, the artist does not really suppress it, but rather condenses it, makes it more substantial. What comes out in the end is the result of discarded finds. Otherwise you become your own connoisseur Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of people who can now see me as an artist for the first time Picture Quote #1

Style is the most valuable asset of the modern artist. That’s probably why so many styles are reported lost or stolen each year Picture Quote #1

The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator Picture Quote #1

I am married to a very dear girl who is an artist. We have no children except me Picture Quote #1

If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this Picture Quote #1

Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up Picture Quote #1

I get paid all day, every day, which is almost too much for a sensitive artist Picture Quote #1

I am very conscious of who I am as an artist and as an inspirational person Picture Quote #1

There was never really a Plan B for me - I always wanted to be a music artist Picture Quote #1

To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perceptions Picture Quote #1

To be a true artist, I have to be true to who I am now and write that way Picture Quote #1

The artist tries to see what there is to be interested in... He has not created something, he has seen something Picture Quote #1

The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see Picture Quote #1

An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs Picture Quote #1

I was a visual artist primarily and a writer, even from a very young age Picture Quote #1

The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces Picture Quote #1
