Favorite Art Quotes

Tue Aug 1, 2006, 4:12 PM
Anybody have any favorite art quotes? I dug out a few that I tend to enjoy. Feel welcome to share some that you may enjoy as well :)

"Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life."
~ Pablo Picasso

"What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough."
~ Eugene Delacroix

"When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college- that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?"
~ Howard Ikemoto

"In a sense each painting becomes somewhat of an experiment, which of course means there is always a risk of screwing up. But that all adds to the excitement and sometimes my biggest gains as an artist come from being forced to deal with a painting that is not working: through this discipline comes growth. On the other side of this coin are the little miracles that sometimes occur quite by accident; when paint seems to swirl magically into paint, forming textures and nuances my conscious mind would never have come up with."
~Brom

"Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye.. it also includes the inner pictures of the soul." ~ Edvard Munch

"To create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage." and "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way--things I had no words for." ~ Georgia O'Keeffe

My favorite quote was from Picasso as well. When asked by a visitor to his studio what one of his paintings really meant to him, he said, "About $80,000 dollars."

I like the prettier quotes- but sometimes the hard realities of the art world can be funny as well, and it's nice to see famous artists being very, very human. It gives me hope.
Certainly, that there is a great quote lol

A winner never gives up
"Drawing (...) is the source and epitome of painting, sculpting, architecture and every kind of science. Whoever has mastered this great art may realize that he has an incomparable power at his disposal. He will be able to create shapes which are taller than any tower in existence... Every wall and every barrier will be too narrow for his far-reaching imagination."

Michaelangelo

(translated from Italian to German to English... the latter by myself)
