art

GK Chesterton
By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece.
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Gloria Leonard
The difference between pornography and erotica is lighting.
Guy Debord
What alters the way we see the streets is more important than what alters the way we see painting.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
There is nothing more dreadful than imagination without taste.
John F. Kennedy
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John Lennon
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
Kurt Vonnegut
The practice of art isn't to make a living. It's to make your soul grow.
Leonardo Da Vinci
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
All art is but imitation of nature.
Madonna Ciccone
I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.
Pablo Picasso
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape.
Bad artists copy. Great artists steal.
Art is the lie that tells the truth.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Paul Gauguin
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Plato
There are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, and a third which imitates them.
Quentin Tarantino
If I've made it a little easier for artists to work in violence, great! I've accomplished something.
