The scope of art is practically boundless it does not begin and end with the painting of pictures and the modeling of statues where there is room for workmanship there is room for it.
Lewis Foreman Day
Image
Man is just a memory. You understand things around you by the help of the knowledge that was put in you. You perhaps need the artist to explain his modern art, but you don't need anybody's help to understand a flower. You can deal with anything, you can do anything if you do not waste your energy trying to achieve imaginary goals.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
The great thing about doing art shows is you get to meet the people who are interested in your art, and I think that when you're purchasing a piece of art it's a tremendous bonus to get to meet the artist because you get a chance to pick their brain a bit and find out first hand what the piece is about for the artist.
Paul Stanley

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.
Ulysses S. Grant

Happiness is not the end of life: character is.
Henry Ward Beecher

This is New York. You gotta work from upstairs to downstairs! You gotta work both ends of the street to have a career. Because it's not just fabricating an artwork. Your works have to go out into the world they have to go to market. This art on the hoof has to be moved it's got to go to the slaughterhouse at some point. Keep those dogies rollin'!

Spend at least 20-30% of your time marketing. You have to pay for this either way. Either you pay a gallery to do this for you , or you put your time and effort into it. Unless people see the great art you're making, they'll never buy it.

A portrait, to be a work of art, neither must nor may resemble the sitter... one must paint its atmosphere.
Umberto Boccioni
Image
Art is viable when it finds elements in the surrounding environment. Our ancestors drew their subject matter from the religious attitudes which weighed on their souls. We must now learn to draw inspiration from the tangible miracles around us.
Umberto Boccioni
Image
These days I am obsessed by sculpture! I believe I have glimpsed a complete renovation of that mummified art.
Umberto Boccioni
Image
The Art of the Romance, though warning us that it is providing fictions, opens a door into the Palace of Absurdity, and when we have lightly stepped inside, slams it shut behind us.
Umberto Eco
Image
All's well with thee if thou art in just hands.
Anne Reeve Aldrich
Image
It is a difficult lesson to learn today-to leave one's friends and family and deliberately practice the art of solitude for an hour or a day or a week. And yet, once it is done, I find there is a quality to being alone that is incredibly precious. Life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid, fuller than before.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
All truly great art is optimistic. The individual artist is happy in his creative work. The fact that practically all great art is tragic does not in any way change the above thesis.
Upton Sinclair
Image
All art is propaganda. It is universally and inescabably propaganda sometimes unconsciously, but often deliberately, propaganda.
Upton Sinclair

I never got to play with Art [ Blakey], but he was kind and spoke to me a number of times. He said, You know, the people who are working 40 hours a week. Those are the ones who are really paying dues. Sitting at a desk doing the same thing every day. We're really blessed to do what we do.

I don't like to trash talk... I don't know how to do that, it's not me. In the martial arts world that I was brought up it was all about respect.
Uriah Hall
Image
Thou art my single day, God lends to leaven What were all earth else, with a feel of heaven.
Robert Browning

Mozart is a human incarnation of the divine force of creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
I naively thought I was making a low-budget movie. But, when the film came out, the Daily Variety reviewer at that time who was named Art Murphy described it as an exploitation film. I had never heard that term before. Roger never used it. So that's how I learned that I had made an exploitation film.
Stephanie Rothman

Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art - the art of words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
I think the mystery of art lies in this, that artists’ relationship is essentially with their work — not with power, not with profit, not with themselves, not even with their audience.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Sometimes one's very angry and preaches, but I know that to clinch a point is to close it. To leave the reader free to decide what your work means, that's the real art it makes the work inexhaustible.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Art is craft: all art is always and essentially a work of craft: but in the true work of art, before the craft and after it, is some essential durable core of being, which is what the craft works on, and shows, and sets free. The statue in the stone. How does the artist find that, see it, before it's visible? That is a real question.
Ursula K. Le Guin
