- I also take pleasure in the so-called negative power in Grotjahn's work. That is, I love his paintings for what they are not. Unlike much art of the past decade, Grotjahn isn't simply working from a prescribed checklist of academically acceptable, curator-approved 'isms' and twists.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
- Damien Hirst on Art
- I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.
- Michelangelo on Art
- I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!
- Victor Hugo on Art
- I am a walking piece of art every day, with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.
- I am an anarchist in politics and an impressionist in art as well as a symbolist in literature. Not that I understand what these terms mean, but I take them to be all merely synonyms of pessimist.
- Henry Adams on Art
- I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
- Paul Cezanne on Art
- I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller.
- Michael Palin on Art
- I am trying to make art that relates to the deepest and most mythic concerns of human kind and I believe that, at this moment of history, feminism is humanism.
- Judy Chicago on Art
- I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot.
- Steve Martin on Art
- I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.

- Marilyn Manson on Art
- I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.
- Auguste Rodin on Art
- I choose films for their artistic value. I don't need a mansion or a Jaguar. When I leave this Earth, I won't take any money with me. All I will leave behind will be my art.

- I cry out for order and find it only in art.
- Helen Hayes on Art
- I did this Super-8 film at art school called 'Tissues,' this black comedy about a family whose father has been arrested for child molestation. I was absolutely thrilled by every inch of it, and would throw my projector in the back of my car and show it to anybody who would watch it.
- Jane Campion on Art
- I didn't grow up thinking of movies as film, or art, but as movies, something to do on a Saturday afternoon.

- I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.
- Marcel Duchamp on Art
- I don't have anything to say about other people's art and their work.
- Dolly Parton on Art
- I don't know much about auctions. I sometimes go to previews and see art sardined into ugly rooms. I've gawked at the gaudy prices, and gaped at well-clad crowds of happy white people conspicuously spending hundreds of millions of dollars.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.

- Maria Callas on Art
- I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
- Henri Matisse on Art
- I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.
- Jean-Michel Basquiat on Art
- I don't think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it's certainly worth a try.
- Steven Spielberg on Art
- I don't think art is propaganda it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.
- Keith Haring on Art

- Georgia O'Keeffe on Art
- I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration.

- I hate art auctions.
- Jerry Saltz on Art

- Salma Hayek on Art
- I have a soft spot for art that, in terms of subject matter and material, is in bad taste.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- I have discovered the art of deceiving diplomats. I tell them the truth and they never believe me.
- Camillo Di Cavour on Art
- I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.
- Salma Hayek on Art
- I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
- Jackson Pollock on Art
- I have nothing to hide in art. The initial force alone can bring anyone to the end he must attain.
- Paul Cezanne on Art
- I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings, and every time I look at them I see something different.
- Jack Nicholson on Art
- I just wish the crowd I was associated with was more passionate about what they were doing and less consumed with the commerce of the art form.
- Shia LaBeouf on Art
- I like it when somebody tells me a story, and I actually really feel that that's becoming like a lost art in American cinema.
- Quentin Tarantino on Art
- I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I'm really bad at it. I'm just a terrible drawer. I can't draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can't draw a straight line.
- Daniel Radcliffe on Art
- I like that the art world isn't regulated.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
