ART QUOTES !, by numusic on Sept 1, 2007 14:46:35 GMT 1, With all the price quoting going on, thought it might be nice to balance it with some quotes about art.
I'll kick off with a few i'm using in the Nuspaper.
What harm cause not those huge draughts or pictures which wanton youth with chalk or coals draw in each passage, wall or stairs of our great houses, whence a cruel contempt of our natural store is bred in them?
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-1592) French philosopher and essayist.
Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
Marshall Mcluhan (1911-1980) Canadian communications theorist and educator.
Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Spanish painter.
Art is not to be taught in Academies. It is what one looks at, not what one listens to, that makes the artist. The real schools should be the streets.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet and dramatist.
"I don't know anything about art, but I know what I like," really means "I don't know anything about art, but I like what I know.
Annon
All art is propaganda; on the other hand, not all propaganda is art.
George Orwell

ART QUOTES !, by misnomer on Sept 1, 2007 15:36:08 GMT 1, Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Scott Adams
A lot of it's experimental, spontaneous. It's about knocking about in the studio and bumping into things.
Richard Prince
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
Why do people think artists are special? It's just another job
Andy Warhol
I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.
Marcel Duchamp
An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.
James McNeil Whistler

ART QUOTES !, by saltandiron on Sept 1, 2007 18:07:37 GMT 1, The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.
Chuck Palahniuk

ART QUOTES !, by romanywg on Sept 1, 2007 19:31:05 GMT 1, I don’t think people are born artists; I think it comes from a mixture of your surroundings, the people you meet, and luck.
Francis Bacon
Believe it or not, I can actually draw.
Jean Michel Basquiat
I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.
Keith Haring

ART QUOTES !, by baldwin on Sept 9, 2007 19:07:06 GMT 1, Just read an interview with an artist called Mercedes Helnwein. I liked this answer and thought I would share
q)Any advice you can pass onto aspiring artists/designers?
a)Not to be discouraged by the official art scene, which for the
most part is a conglomeration of pretentious,deeply mediocre
arts and crafts. If you really want to go to sleep, pick up an arts
magazine featuring the biggest new artists. There's great art out
there, but it is not always theart that is being force fed to the
public."Modern art" of whatever shape, form or size should not
be concerned with being an erudite celebration of things that
only a few people can feel snug about because they're holding a
Martini glass and made some sense out of some metal stick
protruding from the wallof a gallery. Art has only one purpose: to
move. To move on all levels.You should never walk away from a
true piece of art and be left the same:un-dented, un-changed,
with nothing new floating about in your head. The art world
needs some help, so I would say, help it out.
