Quotes:

Not even the most powerful organs of the press, including Time, Newsweek, and The New York Times, can discover a new artist or certify his work and make it stick. They can only bring you the scores.

View quotes by Tom Wolfe

One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles.
View quotes by Igor Stravinsky

I'd need an incredibly talented make up artist to make me look natural! [Honesty from Donatella]
View quotes by Donatella Versace

The aim of every authentic artist is not to conform to the history of art, but to release himself from it in order to replace it with his own history.
View quotes by Harold Rosenberg

The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.
View quotes by Robert Hughes

It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch colour - not colour used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.
View quotes by Henri Matisse

Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter [on aestheticism]
View quotes by Oscar Wilde

Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add.
View quotes by Nelson Goodman

I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.
View quotes by Barbra Streisand

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
View quotes by William Faulkner

The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.

View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business. Which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself.
View quotes by Rosanna Arquette

As an artist, you dream about accumulating enough successful music to someday do just one greatest-hits album, but to reach the point where you're releasing your second collection of hits is beyond belief.
View quotes by Gloria Estefan

As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler
View quotes by Izaak Walton

The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.
View quotes by Emile Zola

By the time I was a teenager, I knew I wanted to be an artist. I was a born draftsman and liked all forms of art, so I just knew that's what I wanted to do.
View quotes by Frank Frazetta

It is important for me, as a popular artist, to make clear to the governments of the United States and Mexico that despite the strategy of fear and intimidation to foreigners, despite their weapons, despite their immigration laws and military reserves, they will never be able to isolate the Zapatista communities from the people in the United States.
View quotes by Zack De La Rocha

Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself
View quotes by Henry Miller

A fine artist is one who makes familiar things new and new things familiar
View quotes by Louis Nizer

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
