Daniel Boulud

Art From Artists Quotes #1199281

Art From Artists Quotes #1235819

#25. From recovery to rags and rags to recovery symbolizes art - a perfect compilation of human imperfections.

Criss Jami

Art From Artists Quotes #1347782

Martin Filler

Art From Artists Quotes #1378563

Art From Artists Quotes #1802502
#33. I like "Julie Gold's song "From a Distance". Her song reminds me of the world as seen through an observer's eye. Seen from a distance, we are people in the same band playing music for everyone. We are artists who play the most beautiful instruments in the world - life.

Ilchi Lee

Art From Artists Quotes #449767
#34. The big pay-off was to work as an artist and gain some shred of respect from your friends, who were also artists. But there was never any notion that you could make a living out of art. On the rare occasions you had a gallery show, and sold a little work, well, that was just gravy.

Cary Fukunaga

Art From Artists Quotes #147715
#38. People assume that a lot of pop artists don't write their songs. That, for me, is super frustrating because I think it detracts from some of the art and some of the craft of what we do. I'm at the helm of it, and I think that is what people don't see.

Ricki-Lee Coulter

Art From Artists Quotes #179978
#39. The greatest artists have never been men of taste. By never sophisticating their instincts they have never lost the awareness of the great simplicities, which they relish both from appetite and from the challenge these offer to skill in competition with popular art.

Art From Artists Quotes #214455

Giorgio Vasari

Art From Artists Quotes #243663

Mario De Sa-Carneiro

Art From Artists Quotes #263935
#43. In our culture, imitation-based experience dominates reality-based experience. I find this an awful thing.

Richard Tuttle

Art From Artists Quotes #267034

Arne Glimcher

Art From Artists Quotes #286197
#46. Tattooing, when understood in its entirety, must be seen as a religious act. The human being brings forth images from the center of the self and communicates them to the world. Fantasy is embodied in reality and the person is made whole.

Spider Webb

Art From Artists Quotes #315451
#47. For the novelist or poet, for the scientist or artist, the question is not where do ideas come from, the question is how they come. The how is the mystery. The how is fragile.

Art From Artists Quotes #803368
#49. Art, although produced by man's hands, is something not created by hands alone, but something which wells up from a deeper source out of our soul ...

Maya Angelou

Art From Artists Quotes #657588
