Art and money are closely related. Try sitting down with a group of artists and ask them what's on their mind. Very quickly the topic shifts to money. And it can be very hard to get them off that subject.
Dave Winer
Image
Good art looks new because the artist has recombined something old to make something better.
Walter Darby Bannard
Image
I think the most important thing any artist can do is to constantly push themselves and improve their craft.
Ami Vitale
Image
One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.
Peter Gabriel
Image
A painter may be an abandoned mimic at school he copies his teachers, which is only right, but he copies in turn every artist in town, which is not. He may do you that honour.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
Artists are perennially implored to consider 'the limitations of the medium.' Whoever invented this expression exaggerated the limitations of the English language. We are not concerned with what effects cannot be produced with our materials.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
The public is the tribunal before which all art is judged - not the critics or the academies. The public is the artist's only patron, and has certain fundamental rights. It will submit to education, and will respond to suggestion, but it will not be bullied.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
Is the artist impelled by spiritual forces, by the divine afflatus, by conscious or unconscious emulation of others? Do angles whisper in the ears of the chosen few, and create for them visions of aethereal beauty? Do landscape painters of genius walk the plains of Heaven? Or is it only vanity that urges him to paint?
Walter J. Phillips
Image
Many rules for the creation of colour schemes have been published in recent years, but, while they are popular in commercial studies, I know of no creative artist who employs them. They are, per se, restrictive their use precludes any chance of adventuring in this interesting field.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
The artist reserves the right to remove a blot on the landscape, to change positions of things, to suit his composition, providing only that he does not transgress the laws of probability.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
The student's ambition should be to become a painter's painter, rather than a popular painter. The approbation of fellow artists based on sympathy and understanding is manifestly better than the fickle or fast homage of the greater public.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
Appreciation is the breath of life to the creative artist, and in spite of modern conditions, there is enough abroad to sustain him. But his name is now legion he competes with the dead as well as the living and the rewards and honours seem attenuated by division.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
When critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Art enlarges experience by admitting us to the inner life of others.
Walter Lippmann
Image
I think that fashion and music go hand-in-hand, and they always should. It's the artist's job to create imagery that matches the music. I think they're very intertwined.
Lady Gaga
Image
Anyone can write. Some people can write a bit better than others they're called authors. Then there are some who can write better than authors they're called artists.
Walter Moers
Image
The number of contemporary artists who appeal to me is infinitesimal.
Nick Lowe
Image
In 20 years I had sold more records for RCA than any artist except Elvis Presley.
Charley Pride
Image
You see so many artists who are so talented end up living sad, empty lives. This industry takes so much out of you that without the accountability and leaving God in the center, you can be left so empty and void.
Stacie Orrico
Image
If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in.
Frederick Buechner
Image
Abstraction returned as soon as artists tried to come to closer grips with reality than naturalistic representation permitted.
Sigfried Giedion
Image
You have to see a building to comprehend it. Photographs cannot convey the experience, nor film.
Arthur Erickson
Image
I was thinking that people have to believe you're crazy in order to take you seriously as an artist. If you're wandering the streets, talking in gibberish, nobody ever asks you to change anything about your art because there's no context for people to look at what you do.
Steven Soderbergh
Image
I invest because I'm really a firm believer in letting the artist make their work, if you choose to work with an artist then you give them the go-ahead.
