More quotes by Albrecht Durer
If a man devotes himself to art, much evil is avoided that happens otherwise if one is idle.
Albrecht Durer
The artist is chosen by God to fulfill his commands and must never be overwhelmed by public opinion.
Albrecht Durer
Why has God given me such magnificent talent? It is a curse as well as a great blessing.
Albrecht Durer
There is no man on earth who can give a final judgment on what the most beautiful shape may be. Only God knows.
Albrecht Durer
The new art must be based upon science - in particular, upon mathematics, as the most exact, logical, and graphically constructive of the sciences.

Albrecht Durer

Albrecht Durer
My father suffered much and toiled painfully all his life, for he had no resources other than the proceeds of his trade from which to support himself and his wife and family.
Albrecht Durer
Nature holds the beautiful, for the artist who has the insight to extract it. Thus, beauty lies even in humble, perhaps ugly things, and the ideal, which bypasses or improves on nature, may not be truly beautiful in the end.
Albrecht Durer
Help us to recognize your voice, help us not to be allured by the madness of the world, so that we may never fall away from you, O Lord Jesus Christ.
Albrecht Durer
And since geometry is the right foundation of all painting, I have decided to teach its rudiments and principles to all youngsters eager for art. . .
Albrecht Durer
I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men.
Albrecht Durer
What beauty is, I know not, though it adheres to many things.
Albrecht Durer
