- I like the fact that in ancient Chinese art the great painters always included a deliberate flaw in their work: human creation is never perfect.
- Madeleine L'Engle on Art
- I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.
- Roy Lichtenstein on Art
- I love art dealers. In some ways, they're my favorite people in the art world. Really. I love that they put their money where their taste is, create their own aesthetic universes, support artists, employ people, and do all of this while letting us see art for free. Many are visionaries.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- I love doing normal things - movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths - that's a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.
- Christina Aguilera on Art
- I love prints of skulls and bones and have some taxidermy - a crow and a rabbit - to remind me of home. I like art and have a big portrait of Bjork.
- Ellie Goulding on Art
- I love to collect modern art.
- Maria Sharapova on Art
- I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
- Walt Disney on Art
- I often find myself privately stewing about much British art, thinking that except for their tremendous gardens, that the English are not primarily visual artists, and are, in nearly unsurpassable ways, literary.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- I owe much to mother. She had an expert's understanding, but also approached art emotionally.
- David Rockefeller on Art
- I paint with shapes.
- Alexander Calder on Art
- I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends, living like starving artists, and wonder, 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do, so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.
- P. J. O'Rourke on Art
- I realize that every picture isn't a work of art.
- Conrad Hall on Art
- I realize that protest paintings are not exactly in vogue, but I've done many.
- Robert Indiana on Art
- I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
- Oscar Wilde on Art
- I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.
- Walt Whitman on Art
- I see 30 to 40 gallery shows a week, and no matter what kind of mood I'm in, no matter how bad the art is, I almost always feel better afterward. I can learn as much from bad art as from good.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- I started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and, whilst abroad, underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare, I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them.
- Nelson Mandela on Art
- I think about my work every minute of the day.
- Jeff Koons on Art
- I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.
- Jodie Foster on Art
- I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
- Mikhail Baryshnikov on Art
- I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.
- Anthony Kiedis on Art
- I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.
- Marilyn Manson on Art
- I think good art does come from a dark place.
- Rick Springfield on Art
- I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.
- Andy Warhol on Art
- I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.
- Jim Morrison on Art
- I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times.
- Willie Nelson on Art
- I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
- Katharine Hepburn on Art
- I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person's day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.
- Eddie Vedder on Art
- I think no artist can claim to have any access to the truth, or an authentic version of an event. But obviously they have slightly better means at their disposal because they have their art to energize whatever it is they're trying to write about. They have music.
- Thom Yorke on Art
- I think of art as the highest level of creativity. To me, it is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment.
- David Rockefeller on Art
- I think of art, at its most significant, as a DEW line, a Distant Early Warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it.
- Marshall McLuhan on Art
- I think of my peace paintings as one long poem, with each painting being a single stanza.
- Robert Indiana on Art
- I think people should be given a test much like driver's tests as to whether they're capable of being parents! It's an art form. I talk a lot. And I think a lot. And I draw a lot. But never in a million years would I have been a parent. That's just work that's too hard.
- Maurice Sendak on Art
- I think that one's art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows.
- Emily Carr on Art
- I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.
- I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.
- Alanis Morissette on Art
- I view art as an inspirational tool.
- Thomas Kincade on Art
- I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.
- I want to serve chess through games, books that are works of art. I would like to bring the game closer to many people all over the world.
- Garry Kasparov on Art
- I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'
- I was the hero of the young insurgent working class art movement.
- Elia Kazan on Art
- I was the least Pop of all the Pop artists.
- Robert Indiana on Art
- I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.
- Sylvester Stallone on Art
- I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
- Khalil Gibran on Art
- I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.
- Charlie Chaplin on Art
- I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old.
- David Hockney on Art
- I would no more quarrel with a man because of his religion than I would because of his art.
- Mary Baker Eddy on Art
- I'd like to introduce someone who has just come into my life. I've admired him for 35 years. He's someone who represents integrity, honesty, art, and on top of that stuff I'm actually sleeping with him.
- Shirley MacLaine on Art
- I'd love to go to art school. I'd love to learn how to draw. I'd love to be fluent in Spanish. I'd like to be a brain surgeon.
- Billie Joe Armstrong on Art
- I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
- Andy Warhol on Art
