People talk about making art films - experimental films. I can make an art film every day of the week. Nothing to it. What's difficult is to combine a commercial film with art.
- Carlo Ponti
#Art
Black-and-white photography, which I was doing in the very early days, was essentially called art photography and usually consisted of landscapes by people like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. But photographs by people like Adams didn't interest me.

- Mary McFadden
#Art
Sometimes I make things that people have very strong responses to. Whether that's art, I don't know. That's one of those words that doesn't mean anything. It's why I don't just use words.
- Ben Katchor
#Art
I like to say StumbleUpon provides a personal tour of the Internet. The responses are more targeted to your interests than they would be with a regular search engine. If you choose a topic on our site that you're interested in, such as art, Web sites related to art appear, as if you're leafing through an art magazine.
- Garrett Camp

Sultan Beyazid considered his father's art collection decadent and ordered it sold at auction.

- Jeff Koons
#Art
My idea of a great holiday is not to go out. It's to find somewhere where I'm not confronted by people coming up to me and saying, 'You're Art Malik, aren't you?' It's quite nice sometimes not to be recognised.
- Art Malik
#Art
It's weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life.
- Sebastian Bach
#Art
As a director, the biggest job is to discern the imperfections in emotional tone and then view it in the global picture of what you're trying to do, if that makes sense. It's a rhythm, like music is a rhythm or composition and art is a rhythm. Dialogue is a rhythm as well.
- Robert Stromberg
#Art
I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young, but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills.
- Ice Cube
#Art
All of journalism is a shrinking art. So much of it is hype. The O.J. Simpson story is a landmark in the decline of journalism.
- Dick Schaap
#Art
Art is the provocation for talking about enigma and the search for sense in human life. One can do that by telling a story or writing about a fresco by Giotto or studying how a snail climbs up a wall.
- John Berger
#Art
Geometry is moribund. I want a lilt and joy to art.
- Ellsworth Kelly
#Art
There's a fine line between artist and product. I don't think the industry purposely does it, but I think that's just the way they maneuver. You have to be careful that doesn't become your story, where you become a product, and your art is tarnished because you're just seen as a tool to make money.
- Dawn Richard
#Art
If you're a new artist, practice your art and share it. Set up shop somewhere, whether it's a street corner or a coffee shop. I got my start in a coffee shop that didn't even have live music. I wanted to play in coffee shops that did have live music, but I didn't have an audience.
- Jason Mraz
#Art
Yes, the more I go through life I realize that there's really no separation between practice and art at all. The two things more and more become one rather than two different aspects of my life.

Painting is seen as picture making, the making of an art object, something that can stand on its own.
- Peter Wright
#Art
The films I grew up loving, and the art that I love, is not generally the kind of postmodern ironic winking stuff. What lasts is the stuff in which the artists are totally in league with the subject.
- James Gray
#Art
I began to see cinema as the perfect combination of so many wonderful art forms - painting, photography, music, dance, theater.
- James Gray
#Art
I feel like science and art are cousins.
- Kate McKinnon
#Art
China is an old nation with a colourful history. Its booming economy has triggered an appetite and a curiosity around the world for its art and culture, one that continues to grow. I can, however, tell people that it is a show with no actor.
- Ai Weiwei
#Art
Makeup and beauty is essentially art so I really can't say that I dislike any trend. I love seeing innovation and creativity. It feeds my soul!
- Huda Kattan
#Art
A lot of the vibe in London is being sucked dry because of the economic situation. It's very expensive, and it gives you nothing back. New York still feels like there's stuff going on. People are struggling to create art. There's still a vibe.
- Finn Jones
#Art
Any musician - I would say 99% of musicians - needs some help along the way. Most people, even if they're self-produced, have someone else mix it, or they'll have someone else master the record. Inevitably, it's like somebody else's personality being put into your art.
- Washed Out
#Art
I think it's important to make art for a myriad of reasons. The least of which is that I think laughter is medicinal, and I think there is an escapism aspect - an act of self-care.
- Natasha Rothwell
#Art
The people of Texas are rightly proud of their own, just like the French and the Italians, but visiting artists have often been given a shot in the history of art.
- Clifford Ross
#Art
What is art? Prostitution.
- Charles Baudelaire
#Art
To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art - that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.
- Charles Baudelaire
#Art
A certain rough-around-the-edges improvisational looseness - a sense of something coming together before your eyes, or not quite - may be one of the things that distinguishes performance art from theater.
- Roberta Smith
#Art
Now, there are so many movies, so many festivals, and so many awards going on, each judged with each other, like your work is worse than others and that's not fair. How can you tell what's best and what's worst from these awards? We're talking about art.
- Javier Bardem
#Art
Comic art is just different. It's art on its own terms.
- Joe Simon
#Art
I think movies, I think art, can change the world.
- Celine Sciamma
#Art
An artist is made to entertain. That's their primary goal, to entertain you. But some artists record the moments of time. You wouldn't know what was happening in the '20s and '30s; you got to check the song or art.
- Rza
#Art
When you are pursuing art, it is critical to develop something signature. There are plenty of people who are followers, but it is absolutely necessary to have something that sets you apart.
- Nadia Ali
#Art
Comics, at least in periodical form, exist almost entirely free of any pretense; the critical world of art hardly touches them, and they're 100% personal.

#Art

- Evan Hunter
#Art
For most of us, art is supposed to do something more than simply mirror the confusions of the world.
- Michiko Kakutani
#Art
I always thought my big brother was the coolest. We were very close when I was young, and we still are in many ways! He was a very open-minded, urban guy with an outdoorsy edge. He is mostly responsible for exposing me to art and culture.
- Rekha Sharma
#Art
When I was at school when I was 16, I was in a quandary because I didn't know whether I wanted to join the army - I had this terrible desire to be a tank driver in the Royal Tank Regiment, genuinely - or whether I wanted to go to art college because half of me wanted to be in the army, and the other half of me wanted to be a surrealist.
- Timothy Spall
#Art
The exciting thing about doing art for someone else's story is how I can translate their world through pictures, and that's always a pretty big challenge.
- Tony DiTerlizzi
#Art
Works of art are like a Trojan horse. Under the surface is always some artist's deeply held philosophy on their view of the world. But on the other hand, you do not want to make it feel like medicine. You do not want to make it feel like an afternoon TV special where you're trying to hammer a message into someone's head.
- Travis Knight
#Art
The executive side of you always wants to find the best, most efficient way to do things. Of course, art is extraordinarily inefficient.

- Jackie Mason
#Art
What does art mean to me? I never really think about the 'meaning' of art. Yet, obviously, that's what I do.
- Gerard Malanga
#Art
All that I've done in my life thus far, all the poems and all the pictures, are not so much an intermingling of my life with art but a divine accident.
- Gerard Malanga
#Art
I think all children love art, but not all get the opportunity to do it.
- Faith Ringgold
#Art
I don't think you can create art out of anger; it has to come out of some form of understanding. You have to feel good about who you are and that you could do something to change things.
- Faith Ringgold
#Art
Art is a form of experience of the person, the place, the history of the people, and as black people, we are different. We hail from Africa to America, so the culture is mixed, from the African to the American. We can't drop that. It's reflected in the music, the dance, the poetry, and the art.
- Faith Ringgold
#Art
I think TV promulgates the idea that good art is just art which makes people like and depend on the vehicle that brings them the art.
- David Foster Wallace
#Art
It can become an exercise in trying to get the reader to like and admire you instead of an exercise in creative art.
- David Foster Wallace

- David Foster Wallace
#Art
I don't think you should ever damage other people for your art.
- Carey Mulligan
#Art

#Art
Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite - getting something down.
- Julia Cameron
#Art
For me, the heyday was in 1959. It was before the Ferus Gallery moved across the street, in the days when Ed Kienholz and Walter Hopps ran it. At that time, art was taken very seriously in terms of being an artist, and not as a profession.
- Billy Al Bengston
#Art
The art from the East is influenced by nature and touch. That comes from being more attuned to the environment.
- Billy Al Bengston
#Art
Art is based on emotion, but being macho is based on ego; the wall protecting that emotion.
- Miguel
#Art
The demons you have are what motivate you to make your art. This is what drives the detective, this is what drives the painter, this is what drives the writer: a conflicting urge to forget pain and at the same time remember it and fight for some kind of justice. I know these powerful things are inside of me and everyone in some way or another.
- Tom Reiss
#Art
Art has more ego to it than what I do.
- Eva Zeisel
#Art
I dug up some old John Buscema 'Conan' comics. Man, when Alfredo Alcala was inking, that was some of the most beautiful black and white comic art ever published. The stories are good, too, though early '70s comics based on Conan is a festival of sexist, racist stereotypes.
- Ted Naifeh
#Art
My parents met at the Art Institute of Chicago as students, and somewhere in there, they procreated off to the side and created me.
- Emil Ferris
#Art
Dior Couture is like art - they are the art pieces of a fashion house. Each piece is unique and made by hand.

#Art
I love art so much because of curiosity. At the start of a painting, I know 10 percent of what the painting will be, and then I have to improvise the whole thing.
- Fernando Botero
#Art
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
Art is always an exaggeration in some sense; in color, in form, even in theme, etc... but it has always been this way. It is the same with the nature of some works by Giotto or Massacio, or the color of life as expressed by Van Gogh.
- Fernando Botero
#Art
You may choose your words like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart.
- Ella Wheeler Wilcox
#Art
You really can't bring about anything new with art.
- Martin Kippenberger

Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.
- Martin Kippenberger
#Art
I've always considered rock 'n' roll, the music and the dancing, an art form.
- Toni Basil
#Art
It's really an interesting problem, trying to earn a living and serve art and serve kids. What I try to create are these visual layers so that readers feel the possibility exists that there might be something in the book they never saw before.
- Peggy Rathmann
#Art
Art must not serve might.
- Karel Capek
#Art
I was welding art from my house, making abstract figures out of metal.
- Ed Dwight
#Art
What people don't know is art was my deal and engineering was my sidebar.
- Ed Dwight
#Art
I'm an extremely introverted and isolated writer, but I was starting to feel exhausted and as if my writing was becoming redundant. As much as it was a silly fear of mine, I began opening myself up to other writers and it was the best decision I could've made for my art.
- Sabrina Claudio
#Art
Doing art at Marlborough, where I went to school, was really quite tough, and I knew that it wasn't the direction I wanted to go. I'd rather show art and give people the joy of seeing it.
- Princess Eugenie of York
#Art

#Art

- Alix Smith
#Art
Ruskin's concern for art education applied to the development of the power of the hand and eye for everyone.
- Robert Hewison
#Art
I was surrounded by classical music, art and ballet all these things. But they also had a football field and it was at the conservatoire I decided to be a footballer.
- Carlos Carvalhal
#Art
Dolls fire our collective imagination, for better and - too often - for worse. From life-size dolls the same height as the little girls who carry them, to dolls whose long hair can 'grow' longer, to Barbie and her fashionable sisters, dolls do double duty as child's play and the focus of adult art and adult fear.
- Ellen Datlow
#Art
Films go into vaults, art into museums, and music into halls of fame. Most fashion is worn for a few seasons and off-loaded into the recycling bin or, worse, some landfill.
- Robin Givhan
#Art
There is no philosophy without the art of ignoring objections.
- Joseph de Maistre
#Art
The reason I do this job is because I started to be a painter. Making money in art was difficult. The easiest way to make money was to use art for some other reason. One of the easiest and most interesting from an economic point of view was fashion. Fashion pays.
- Franco Moschino
#Art
Obviously in Art of Noise, I'm just part of the group, and when I do film scores, it's always in collaboration with the director and other people involved.
- Anne Dudley
#Art
I didn't have any real art training, but when I was about twelve nad thirteen, another boy and I went to a sign painter's house every Friday night and took lessons.
- Rube Goldberg
#Art
I think it is more of an intuitive, circular kind of personality, for starters. And, as I say of horses, the secret to breeding great horses is the three B's: bones, brains, and balance. If you look at art, it shares some of the same qualities.
- Alice Walton
#Art
Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike.
- Margot Fonteyn
#Art
Art should never be limited - the beauty of art is that it gives us the freedom to go places where we wouldn't go to in our normal lives. Inside, I'm just so many different people. I go from the pretty girl on the red carpet to the singer at Ozzfest, spitting in the crowd. That's Jada.
- Jada Pinkett Smith
#Art
Art doesn't feed me or fill the void when I am not working. If I haven't worked for six months, I can't paint.
- Rod Taylor
#Art
Obviously, Kanye and I are very different in the way we express ourselves publicly. He's so passionate... about art, about culture, about creativity. And he's really good at it. And that honesty manifests itself in ways that are not politically correct, not socially acceptable sometimes.
- John Legend
