David Herbert Lawrence
The business of art is to reveal the relation between man and his environment.
Walt Whitman
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
John Berger
What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.
Winston Churchill
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Jackson Pollock
I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
Pablo Picasso
Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Paul Cezanne
When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.
Gustave Flaubert
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Al Capp
Abstract art: a product of the untalented sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.
Leo Tolstoy
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
Jean Cocteau
Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
W. Somerset Maugham
Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.
Hendrik Willem Van Loon
The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
Ambrose Bierce
Painting, n.: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather, and exposing them to the critic.
Fran Lebowitz
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Abraham Lincoln
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
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, from a spider's web.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.
Andre Gide
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.
Carl Rogers
The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.
Georgia O'Keeffe
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.
Oscar Wilde
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Hedy Lamarr
A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.
Salvador Dali
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
Henry Miller
An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
Vincent Van Gogh
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Anatole France
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Henry David Thoreau
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.
Edgar Allan Poe
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
Colin Powell
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
