Art Quotes
Art is not a pleasure, a solace, or an amusement; art is great matter. Art is an organ of human life, transmitting man’s reasonable perception into feeling. In our age the common religious perception of men is the consciousness of the brotherhood of man-we know that the well-being of man lies in the union with his fellow men. True science should indicate the various methods of applying this consciousness to life. Art should transform this perception into feeling. The task of art is enormous. Through the influence of real art, aided by science, guided by religion, that peaceful co-operation of man is now obtained by external means-by law courts, police, charitable institutions, factory inspection, etc.-should be obtained by man’s free and joyous activity. Art should cause violence to be set aside. And it is only art that can accomplish this.
- Leo N. Tolstoy
Art is the Queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
- Leonardo da Vinci
Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.
- Leonardo da Vinci

Art Quotes
As music is the poetry of sound, so is painting the poetry of sight and the subject-matter has nothing to do with harmony of sound or of color.
- James Mcneill Whistler
I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.
- Joan Miro
That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art.
- John A. Locke
Do not imagine that Art is something which is designed to give gentle uplift and self-confidence. Art is not a brassiere. At least, not in the English sense. But do not forget that brassiere is the French word for life-jacket.
- Julian Barnes
It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet.
- Kojiro Tomita

The pictures I contemplate painting would constitute a halfway state and an attempt to point out the direction of the future - without arriving there completely.

The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.

Art Quotes
They see poetry in what I have done. No. I apply my methods, and that is all there is to it.
- Georges Seurat
Although the dream is a very strange phenomenon and an inexplicable mystery, far more inexplicable is the mystery and aspect our minds confer on certain objects and aspects of life. Psychologically speaking, to discover something mysterious in objects is a symptom of cerebral abnormality related to certain kinds of insanity. I believe, however, that such abnormal moments can be found in everyone, and it is all the more fortunate when they occur in individuals with creative talent or with clairvoyant powers. Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction of common men.
- Giorgio de Chirico
A great artist… must be shaken by the naked truths that will not be comforted. This divine discontent, this disequilibrium, this state of inner tension is the source of artistic energy.
- Goethe
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
- Hans Hofmann
The artist is the child in the popular fable, every one of whose tears was a pearl.
- Heinrich Heine
It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.
- Henri Matisse
It would be a mistake to ascribe this creative power to an inborn talent. In art, the genius creator is not just a gifted being, but a person who has succeeded in arranging for their appointed end, a complex of activities, of which the work is the outcome. The artist begins with a vision — a creative operation requiring an effort. Creativity takes courage.
- Henri Matisse
