There has to come a time in your life
when you make peace with something
that you will never be able to explain or understand.
When you feel the broken pieces inside you
come together.
Not in the same form as before it was broken.
But a new form.
A new piece to your soul
that you carry on with.
~ J.V. Manning
The aim
of every
artist is
to arrest
motion,
which is
life, by
artificial
means
and hold
it fixed
so that a
hundred
years
later,
when a
stranger
looks at it,
it moves
again
since
it is life.
~William
Faulkner
It has been said that art is a tryst,
for in the joy of it maker
and beholder meet.
~Kojiro Tomita
Art is
when
you
hear a
knocking
from
your
soul
and
you
answer.
~Terri
Guillemets
Art
is the
only
way to
run
away
without leaving
home.
~Twyla
Tharp
What art offers is space -
a certain breathing room
for the spirit.
~John Updike
Let
me
ask
you
something, what
is not
art?

Painting is just another way
of keeping a diary.
~Pablo Picasso
An artist
is someone
who
produces things
that people
don't need
to have
but that
he -
for some
reason -
thinks it
would be
a good idea
to give
them.
~Andy
Warhol
Art, as far as it is able, follows nature,
as a pupil imitates his master;
thus your art must be, as it were,
God's grandchild.
~Dante Alighieri, Inferno
For
me,
painting
is a
way to
forget
life.
It is a
cry in
the night,
a strangled
laugh.
~Georges
Rouault
The artist gazes upon a reality and
creates his own impression.
The viewer gazes upon the impression
and creates his own reality.
~Robert Brault
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
| “There is no must in art because art is free” | |
 Wassily Kandinsky |
As far
as I am
concerned,
a painting
speaks for
itself.
What is
the use
of giving
explanations,
when all
is said
and done?
A painter
has only
one
language.
~Pablo
Picasso
| “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” | |
 Albert Einstein |
I want
to reach
that
condensation
of sensations
that
constitutes
a picture.
~Henri
Matisse,
Notes d'un
peintre,
1908
| All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul. Purple is not just a noun and an adjective but also a verb - when you look at it, it's looking back at you. ~Uniek Swain | |
Art
is
the
colors
and
textures

imagination.

| Pablo Picasso |
Art is
your
personal
diary
where
you may
color your
thoughts
and
emotions
on a page.

| “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” | |
~ Leonardo da Vinci
|
Art is
a shadow
of what a
person is
thinking...
a small
glimpse
of what
they hold
inside.
Little
secrets,
regrets,
joys...
every line
has its own
meaning.
~Sarah,
Los Cerros
Middle School,
1999
“Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us.” | |
~Roy Adzak

Art is
your
emotions
flowing
in a
river of
imagination.

and you are the artist.”
Art is
an
adventure
that
never
seems
to
end.

| “The secret of life is in art.” | |
~Oscar Wild

a picture straight
from
the
heart.

“You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul” | |
~ George Bernard Shaw
|
One
of the
best
things
about paintings
is their
silence -
which
prompts
reflection
and
random
reverie.
~Mark Stevens
| “One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” | |
~ Oscar Wilde

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things. ~Pablo Picasso
