"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does, the better."
André Gide
"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
"Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art."
Andy Warhol
"There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit."
Ansel Adams
"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
Aristotle
"Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art."
Baltasar Gracian
"The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first."
Blaise Pascal
"Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul."
Bruce Lee
"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."
C.S. Lewis
"Art can teach without at all ceasing to be art."
C.S. Lewis
"Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him."
Carl Jung
"The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure."
Dale Carnegie
"I think the idea of art kills creativity."
Douglas Adams
"In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves."
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
"A true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art."
George Bernard Shaw
"Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course."
George Bernard Shaw
"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."
GK Chesterton
"Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame."
GK Chesterton
"Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere."
GK Chesterton
"Of all lies, art is the least untrue."
Gustave Flaubert
