A first rate soup is better than a second rate
painting.
Abraham Maslow
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must
write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What
one can be, one must be.
Abraham Maslow
A photograph is not only an image (as a painting is an image),
an interpretation of the real; it is also a trace, something
directly stencilled off the real, like a footprint or a death
mask.
Susan Sontag
A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts.
Joshua Reynolds

to the utterly bewildered.
Al Capp
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Marshall McLuthan
All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.

An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need
to have but that he - for some reason - thinks would be a good

An artist never really finishes his work; he merely abandons
it.
Paul Ambroise Valery
And my aim in my life is to make pictures and drawings, as many
and as well as I can; then, at the end of my life, I hope to
pass away, looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking,
"Oh, the pictures I might have made."
Vincent Van Gogh
Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise man to be
able to sell it.
Samuel Butler
Art arises when the secret vision of the artist and the manifestation
of nature agree to find new shapes.
Kahlil Gibran
Art does not reproduce what is visible; it makes things visible.
Paul Klee
Art for art's sake.
Dante Alighieri
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less
the artist does the better.
Andre Gide
Art is a human activity which has as its purpose the transmission
to others of the highest and best feelings to which men have
risen.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is a jealous mistress, and, if a man have a genius for painting,
poetry, music, architecture, or philosophy, he makes a bad husband,
and an ill provider.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the
same time the immortal movement of its time.
Karl Marx
Art is an effort to create, beside the real world, a more human
world.

Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches
into nature and which there divines the spirit of which Nature
herself is animated.

Paul Gauguin
Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification
of existence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is like soup. There will be some vegetables you don't like
but as long as you get some soup down you it doesn't matter.
George Wyllie, on modern art
Art is long, and time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still like muffled drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Art is long, life is short.
Hippocrates
Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
Frank Zappa
Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Art is not a mirror to reflect the world, but a hammer with
which to shape it.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Art is not a study of positive reality; it is a search for ideal
truth.

Stanley Fry

reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
Amy Lowell

Pablo Picasso
Art is the great democrat, calling forth creative genius from
every sector of society, disregarding race or religion or wealth
or color.
John F. Kennedy
Art is the most beautiful of all lies.
Claude Debussy
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world
has ever known.

the end.

with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things
which always become ugly with time.
Jean Cocteau
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Henry Miller
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso
Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those
of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really
are or people might think we're stupid.
Jules Feiffer
Artists must be sacrificed to their art. Like bees, they must
put their lives into the sting they give.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As an artist, all I need is my paints and brushes - and someone
to drag me away when the canvas is done.
Pablo Picasso
As for the degenerate artists, I forbid them to force their
so-called experiences upon the public. If they do see fields
blue, they are deranged, and should go to an asylum. If the
only pretend to see them blue, they are criminals, and should
go to prison. I will purge the nation of them.
Adolf Hitler
As my artist's statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible
and is therefore full of deep significance.
Calvin and Hobbes
