Art is good, bad, boring, ugly, useful to us or not.
‐‐ Jerry Saltz
Art is good but it isn't the best.

Art is head space that is very exclusive: it shuts people out; other people cease to exist.
‐‐ Michel Faber
Art is I; science is we.
‐‐ Claude Bernard
Art is important because when people start to forget, art reminds them what happened. Like 'Guernica.' People would not remember the tragedy of Guernica today if it were not for that painting.
‐‐ Fernando Botero
Art is inspiring. Walking into a gallery, or when the lights go up on a stage; that thrill of getting something that has nothing to do with acquisition.
‐‐ Sadie Jones
Art is interesting because there can be so many different perspectives in a piece of art. The way I see it may be completely different than the way somebody else sees it. It's interesting to hear what somebody sees in a piece of art compared to somebody else. It could be completely different, and that's interesting to me.

‐‐ Dan Colen
Art is life's dream interpretation.

Art is like a stock with a decent return for people in finance, and they get to feel like they are involved with culture, spend time with artists, as part of their dividend.
‐‐ Rachel Kushner
Art is like baby shoes. When you coat them with gold, they can no longer be worn.

‐‐ Yoko Ono
Art is longer than life.
‐‐ Lee Strasberg
Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will.
‐‐ Anselm Kiefer
Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art you're stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is.
‐‐ Mark Vonnegut
Art is made to disturb, science reassures.
‐‐ Georges Braque
Art is magic... But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic.
‐‐ Hans Hofmann
Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.
‐‐ Theodor Adorno
Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
‐‐ Frank Zappa

‐‐ Henry A. Kissinger
Art is man's nature; nature is God's art.
‐‐ Philip James Bailey
Art is maybe a subversive activity. There is a certain rebellion when you are an artist at heart, even if only in the art of living.
‐‐ Philippe Petit
Art is messy, art is chaos - so you need a system.
‐‐ Andrew Stanton
Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.
‐‐ Rita Mae Brown
Art is more engaging that propaganda.
‐‐ Larry Norman
Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.
‐‐ Robert Motherwell
Art is much more confined by materials than writing is.
‐‐ Molly Crabapple
Art is my life and my life is art.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.
‐‐ Malcolm de Chazal
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
‐‐ Leonardo da Vinci
Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.
‐‐ Leo Tolstoy
Art is not a pastime but a priesthood.
‐‐ Jean Cocteau
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
‐‐ John Ruskin
Art is not a thing; it is a way.
‐‐ Elbert Hubbard
Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.
‐‐ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite - getting something down.
‐‐ Julia Cameron
Art is not an end in itself, but a means of addressing humanity.
‐‐ Modest Mussorgsky
Art is not an investment. Art is something you buy because you are financially solvent enough to give yourself a pleasure of living with great works rather than having to just see them in museums. People who are buying art at the top of the market as an investment are foolish.
‐‐ Arne Glimcher
Art is not boosterism, it's not propaganda, and it's not spin, but that's not something that art does, and nor has it historically ever done it.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
Art is not for the cultivated taste. It is to cultivate taste.
‐‐ Nikki Giovanni
Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability.
‐‐ Shinichi Suzuki
Art is not journalism. In art, you don't make it to convey a message.
‐‐ Pawel Pawlikowski
Art is not living. It is the use of living.
‐‐ Audre Lorde
Art is not meant to change the world.
‐‐ JR
Art is not meant to change the world, but when you see people interacting, when you see an impact on their lives, then I guess in a smaller way, this is changing the world. So, that's what I believe in. That's why I'm into creating more and more interactions.
‐‐ JR
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
‐‐ Friedrich Nietzsche
