- Madonna remains the most visible performer on the planet, as well as one of the wealthiest, but would anyone seriously say that artistic self-development is her primary motivating principle? She is too busy with Kabbalah, fashion merchandising, adoption melodramas, the gym, and ill-starred horseback riding to study art.
- Camille Paglia on Art
- Magic becomes art when it has nothing to hide.
- Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
- Andy Warhol on Art
- Man is unique not because he does science, and his is unique not because he does art, but because science and art equally are expressions of his marvelous plasticity of mind.
- Jacob Bronowski on Art
- Many art-worlders have an if-you-say-so approach to art: Everyone is so scared of missing out on the next hot artist that it's never clear whether people are liking work because they like it or because other people do. Everyone is keeping up with the Joneses, and there are more Joneses than ever.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- Many museums are drawing audiences with art that is ostensibly more entertaining than stuff that just sits and invites contemplation. Interactivity, gizmos, eating, hanging out, things that make noise - all are now the norm, often edging out much else.
- Jerry Saltz on Art

- Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.

- Paracelsus on Art
- Megacollectors suppose they can enter art history by spending astronomical amounts.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
- Andre Maurois on Art
- Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked ladies. Women's magazines also often feature pictures of naked ladies. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is hairy and lumpy and should not be seen by the light of day.
- Richard Roeper on Art
- Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn't have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'
- Temple Grandin on Art
- Mission accomplished. The Museum of Modern Art's wide-open, tall-ceilinged, super-reinforced second floor was for all intents and purposes built to accommodate monumental installations and gigantic sculptures, should the need arise. It has arisen.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea.
- John Ciardi on Art
- Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it.
- Camille Paglia on Art
- Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable.
- Charles Baudelaire on Art
- Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, which make up one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immutable. This transitory fugitive element, which is constantly changing, must not be despised or neglected.
- Charles Baudelaire on Art
- Modernity signifies the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art of which the other half is the eternal and the immutable.
- Charles Baudelaire on Art
- Modesty: the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it.

- Dwight D. Eisenhower on Art
- Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of the artist.
- Franz Liszt on Art
- Much good art got made while money ruled I like a lot of it, and hardship and poverty aren't virtues. The good news is that, since almost no one will be selling art, artists - especially emerging ones - won't have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand. They'll be able to experiment as much as they want.
- Jerry Saltz on Art
- Murals in restaurants are on a par with the food in museums.

- Music is the art of the prophets and the gift of God.
- Martin Luther on Art
- Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.

- My painting does not come from the easel.
- Jackson Pollock on Art

- My trade and art is to live.
- Michel De Montaigne on Art
