Great Art Quotes

There are only four great arts: music, painting, sculpture, and ornamental pastry - architecture being the least banal derivative of the latter Picture Quote #1

Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them Picture Quote #1

The great leaders of business, industry, finance, and the great artists, musicians, poets, and writers became great, because they developed the faculty of creative imagination Picture Quote #1

It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man Picture Quote #1

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit Picture Quote #1

It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an achievement Picture Quote #1

To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living Picture Quote #1

What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry Picture Quote #1

Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language Picture Quote #1

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right Picture Quote #1

I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth - and eighteenth century masters Picture Quote #1

Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record Picture Quote #1

Great artistic talent in any direction... Is hardly inherent to the man. It comes and goes; it is often possessed only for a short phase in his life; it hardly ever colors his character as a whole and has nothing to do with the moral and intellectual stuff of the mind and soul. Many great artists, perhaps most great artists, have been poor fellows indeed, whom to know was to despise Picture Quote #1

The seeing of things as they really are-the seeing of a proportion veiled from other eyes (together with the power of expression), is what makes a man an artist. What makes him a great artist is a high fervour of spirit, which produces a superlative, instead of a comparative, clarity of vision Picture Quote #1

People don't really have a relationship with great writing or great production or great art direction or great direction. They just sort of admire it Picture Quote #1

The great art of giving consists in this the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated Picture Quote #1

Most great art is created when the artist feels they are channeling something rather than trying to communicate something Picture Quote #1

Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots Picture Quote #1

There is no logical reason why the camel of great art should pass through the needle of mob intelligence Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to just work within Hollywood when I started a production company. I wanted to be able to collaborate with great artists from all over the world Picture Quote #1

I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller Picture Quote #1

The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world Picture Quote #1

The pursuit of perfection always implies a definite aristocracy, which is as much a goal of effort as a noble philosophy, an August civil polity or a great art Picture Quote #1

It feels like my job is to support people. I support great artists. When I worked with a symphony, I sat in the third chair, not the first chair Picture Quote #1

Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike Picture Quote #1

It has been said that great art is the night thought of man. It may emerge without warning from the soundless depths of the unconscious, just as supernovas may blaze up suddenly in the farther reaches of void space Picture Quote #1

Bad artists ignore the darkness of human existence. Good artists often get stuck there. Great artists embrace the full catastrophe of our condition and find beyond it an even deeper truth of peace, healing, and redemption Picture Quote #1

All great artists know that part of their task is to light up the distance between two human beings Picture Quote #1

The biographies of great artists make it abundantly clear that the creative urge is often so imperious that it battens on their humanity and yokes everything to the service of the work, even at the cost of health and ordinary human happiness. The unborn work in the psyche of the artist is a force of nature that achieves its end either with tyrannical might or with the subtle cunning of nature herself, quite regardless of the personal fate of the man who is its vehicle Picture Quote #1

While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy Picture Quote #1
