I feel I should not be ... so at the mercy of people's regard. And yet - it is the artist's desire for communication too without the answering voice you get so numb you lose faith in your powers to communicate.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
If you don't enjoy making work, then it's bad. It's rough. Artwork is brutal for so many people. They let it happen to them, but it's brutal. I like the idea of an artist as somebody who works. A lot of the artists I like share this understanding.
Urs Fischer
Image
Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are the artist's true friend.
Anne Lamott
Image
The artist deals with what cannot be said in 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
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
Image
If there is anything the artist or a true work of art teaches us, it is that variety and complexity really increase the unity, and that to achieve unity within a great variety of complexity is a greater achievement and more satisfying piece of art than to achieve unity with just a few elements, which is relatively easily achieved.
David Steindl-Rast

As nice as some of the booths are, it's not the same thing. It's a pity for young artists, because one of the things that a younger artist can look forward to is an emerging dealer who has a space that they can take over and build whatever will suit whatever aesthetic they find themselves in. In an art fair, you turn yourself into an object.
Lawrence Weiner
Image
Much arrogance is necessary equipment for an artist, I think. Not sufficient, but necessary. It carries one across the gaps.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
That is the creative artist - a penalty of the creative artist - wanting to make order out of chaos.
Ursula Nordstrom
Image
The creative artist is the one wanting to make order out of chaos. The rest of us just accept disorder -if we even recognize it- and get a bang out of our five beautiful senses, if we’re lucky.
Ursula Nordstrom
Image
The artist is a kind of prison from which the works of art escape.
Jean Cocteau
Image
The unique essence of being an artist is dying. Eveything looks the same. Now there’s a formula. And it works. - But it takes away from the reason we do it.
Usher
Image
Artists who are relevant today won't be tomorrow unless someone does the right thing by their character and preserves it in the dialogue of a movie.
Usher

One cannot demand of art that it pay you in any other way than in the satisfaction of the work itself.
Uta Hagen
Image
To rebel or revolt against the status quo is in the very nature of an artist.
Uta Hagen

I'd love to be an artist that's multifaceted. At the moment, I am not. But wouldn't that be cool if I was like, 'Yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.' I would adore that. I am so far not gifted in that way. But I am a very hard worker and a very determined person, so who knows?

An artist doesn't depend upon inspiration or have to have it. An artist doesn't depend on mood, certainly not if you're earning your living with it. One of the definitions of a professional is you can do some writing if you have to, even in the most extreme situations.
Michael Ventura

Part of me believes that the completed record is the final measure of a pop musician's accomplishment, just as the completed film is the final measure of a film artist's accomplishments.
Jon Landau

Why are millions spent on the war each day, while not a penny is available for ... artists or the poor? Why do people have to starve when mountians of food are rotting away in other parts of the world? Oh, why are people so crazy?
Anne Frank
Image
Artists can have greater access to reality they can see patterns and details and connections that other people, distracted by the blur of life, might miss. Just sharing that truth can be a very powerful thing.
Jay-Z
Image
How many are silenced, because in order to get to their art they would have to scream?
Anne Clark

Bureaucrats: they are dead at 30 and buried at 60. They are like custard pies you can't nail them to a wall.
Frank Lloyd Wright
