Text Quotes
An exhibition is in many ways a series of conversations. Between the artist and viewer, curator and viewer, and between the works of art themselves. It clicks when an exhibition feels like it has answered some questions, and raised even more (The Artist Quotes)
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 (The Artist Quotes)

If we view a great mountain soaring into the sky, it may excite us, evoke an uplifted feeling within us. There is an interplay of something we see outside of us with our inner response. The artist takes that response and its feelings and shapes it on canvas with paint so that when finished it contains the experience (The Artist Quotes)
There is no communication with any public whatsoever. The artist can ask no question, and he makes no statement; he offers no information, and his work cannot be used. It is the end product which counts (The Artist Quotes)
The work of art is born of the artist in a mysterious and secret way. From him it gains life and being. Nor is its existence casual and inconsequent, but it has a definite and purposeful strength, alike in its material and spiritual life (The Artist Quotes)
Don’t hoard the past. Don’t cherish anything. Burn it. The artist is the phoenix who burns to emerge (The Artist Quotes)
It’s very often the artist who gives a voice to the voiceless by speaking up when no one else will (The Artist Quotes)
Music is the most absorbing of all the arts. It absorbs the mind of the artist, whether creator or executant, to the exclusion of every other consideration outside his own immediate necessities or desires (The Artist Quotes)
How often have I actually discovered in myself that enthusiasm raises the artist above himself, how in an ordinary mood one would not have been able to accomplish many of the things for which enthusiasm lends one everything, energy, fire (The Artist Quotes)
Art itself shuns commonality: while the scientist may seek the phenomenon that repeats itself, the artist seeks the exception (The Artist Quotes)
The artists must see all things as if he were seeing them for the first time. All his life he must see as he did when he was a child (The Artist Quotes)
The role of the artist, like that of the scholar, consists of seizing current truths often repeated to him, but which will take on new meaning for him and which he will make his own when he has grasped their deepest significance (The Artist Quotes)
It is just the little difference between the good and the best that makes the difference between the artist and the artisan. It is just the little touches after the average man would quit that makes the master’s fame (The Artist Quotes)
The artist is the only one who knows that the world is a subjective creation, that there is a choice to be made, a selection of elements (The Artist Quotes)
The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows it to realize its supreme purpose through him (The Artist Quotes)
Color helps to express light, not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists, that in the artist’s brain (The Artist Quotes)
Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist (The Artist Quotes)
The artist spends the first part of his life with the dead, the second with the living, and the third with himself (The Artist Quotes)
The portrait is one of the most curious art forms. It demands special qualities in the artist, and an almost total kinship with the model (The Artist Quotes)
... the right to free expression is something one seizes, not something one is given... if it does exist, it exists to be used against the established order... There is absolute opposition between the artist and the state (The Artist Quotes)
The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge (The Artist Quotes)
The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings (The Artist Quotes)
And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others. The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from (The Artist Quotes)
It is most certainly a good thing that the world knows only the beautiful opus but not its origins, not the conditions of its creation; for if people knew the sources of the artist’s inspiration, that knowledge would often confuse them, alarm them, and thereby destroy the effects of excellence. strange hours! strangely enervating labor! bizarrely fertile intercourse of the mind with a body! (The Artist Quotes)
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 (The Artist Quotes)
