I found some great quotes on art on this website.
My five favourite ones are as follows:
1) Art is lies that tell the truth. Pablo Picasso
2) It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance...and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process. Henry James
3) Art is like a shipwreck...it's everyman for himself. Marcel Duchamp
4) It would be a mistake to ascribe this creative power to an inborn talent. In art, the genius creator is not just a gifted being, but a person who has succeeded in arranging for their appointed end, a complex of activities, of which the work is the outcome. The artist begins with a vision -- a creative operation requiring an effort. Creativity takes courage. Henri Matisse
5) The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers. James Baldwin
And I certainly can't argue with this statement:
You can never do too much drawing. Tintoretto (Jacopo Comin)
Which ones are your favourites? Let me know in the Comment section.
