Art class was my thing, but not any other class.
‐‐ Dan Colen
Art collecting has traditionally been the domain of wealthy individuals in search of rewards beyond the purely financial.
‐‐ James Surowiecki
Art collectors are pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. What matters and survives is the art. I buy art that I like. I buy it to show it off in exhibitions. Then, if I feel like it, I sell it and buy more art.
‐‐ Charles Saatchi
Art comes from a visceral need and is usually generated by something I have seen; writing comes from something that happens in my head and my heart.
‐‐ E. L. Konigsburg
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
‐‐ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Art consists of reshaping life, but it does not create life nor cause life.
‐‐ Stanley Kubrick
Art dealing is when you're doing it as a business.
‐‐ Jeffrey Deitch
Art depends on luck and talent.
‐‐ Francis Ford Coppola
Art distills sensation and embodies it with enhanced meaning in a memorable form - or else it is not art.
‐‐ Jacques Barzun
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
‐‐ Miguel de Unamuno
Art does imitate life, it has to come from somewhere. To put boundaries and limitations on it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
‐‐ Christian Slater
Art does not, like science, set forth a permanent order of nature, the enduring skeleton of law. Two factors primarily determine its works: one is the idea in the mind of the artist, the other is his power of expression; and both these factors are extremely variable.
‐‐ George Edward Woodberry
Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see.
‐‐ Paul Klee
Art doesn't alter things. It points things out, but it doesn't alter them. It can't, no matter what a painter wants to do.
‐‐ Arthur Boyd
Art doesn't feed me or fill the void when I am not working. If I haven't worked for six months, I can't paint.
‐‐ Rod Taylor
Art doesn't interest me. Only artists interest me.
‐‐ Marcel Duchamp
Art doesn't just happen by accident. It is about pulling out new tricks and trying new things.
‐‐ Nicholas Meyer
Art doesn't spring from the muses alone, but from hard work.
‐‐ Tom Rachman
Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.
‐‐ Roy Lichtenstein
Art editors and critics - people like me - have become a courtier class.
‐‐ Dave Hickey
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
‐‐ Thomas Merton
Art evokes emotion. It doesn't have to be a thing of beauty.
‐‐ Eli Broad
Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.
‐‐ Rene Magritte
Art exists for the human species. I think that all of the people who love art, those who teach art, and all of you should burn with the obligation to save the world.
‐‐ Shinichi Suzuki
Art expresses man.
‐‐ Shinichi Suzuki
Art, film, fashion, music are all going on and interacting simultaneously. And L.A. is very receptive to that fusion.
‐‐ Jeffrey Deitch
Art flourishes where there is a sense of adventure.
‐‐ Alfred North Whitehead
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
‐‐ Frank Lloyd Wright
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake.
‐‐ Simon Raven
Art for Duchamp, all the arts, obey the same law: meta-irony is inherent in their very spirit. It is an irony that destroys its own negation and, hence, returns in the affirmative.
‐‐ Octavio Paz
Art for me is like breathing.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics.
‐‐ Victor Pinchuk
Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.
‐‐ Marilyn Manson
Art gives people a reason to be alive.
‐‐ Marilyn Manson
Art gives us an opportunity to not have to leave or go somewhere or do something to experience the magic in our lives. It actually gets us to sit back and be where we are and recognize we're already magical.
‐‐ Irvin Mayfield
Art goes beyond politics. Even if there are writers who are involved in politics, eventually, in one or two centuries, it's not their politics which is going to count, but the fact of having given life to feelings, of having created characters and made a living work of art.
‐‐ Eugene Ionesco
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.
‐‐ Publilius Syrus
Art has a double visage: it looks before and after. Romance is its forward-looking face. The germ of growth is in romanticism. Formalism, on the other hand, consolidates tradition; gleans what has been gained and makes it facile to the hand or the mind; economizes the energy of genius.
‐‐ George Edward Woodberry
Art has a way of confronting us, of reminding us, of engaging us, in what it means to be human, and what it means to be human is to be flawed, is to be contradictory, is to be often weak, and yet despite all of these what we would consider drawbacks, that we're also quite beautiful. Spin is the opposite.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
Art has absolutely changed my life.
‐‐ Peter Weller
Art has been good for my soul. And it's been good for my brain. I think I'm a better painter now than I was a musician growing up. You struggle to see things and translate an image through your hands to a canvas.
‐‐ Anne Sweeney
Art has definitely influenced how I think of design, both as individual items and as a body of work.
‐‐ Cynthia Rowley
Art has more ego to it than what I do.
‐‐ Eva Zeisel
Art has never been a popularity contest.
‐‐ James Levine
Art has nothing to do with politics. It is the freest thing in the world.
‐‐ Tatyana Tolstaya
Art has often been and continues to be considered transcendent. I see this as misguided and, in fact, a way of subverting the powerful voice art can be in global discussions about politics, economics, society, culture, religion and international relations.
‐‐ Aman Mojadidi
Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.
‐‐ Harvey Fierstein
Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material.
‐‐ Jeff Koons
Art has to address eternal issues.
‐‐ Duane Michals
Art has to be reflective of our society.
‐‐ David Zayas
