"All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography." - Federico Fellini 

“For the artist creation begins with vision. To see requires effort. Great love is needed to inspire this continuous striving towards truth, this generosity and profound laying bare that accompany the birth of any work of art. But isn’t love at the origin of all creation?’’ - Henri Matisse

"The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep." - Paul Strand 

 

"Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed."  - Frank Lloyd Wright 

"Every good painter paints what he is." - Jackson Pollock

 

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." - Pablo Picasso 

" The purpose of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." - Aristotle 

 

"The people who make art their business are mostly imposters."  - Pablo Picasso 

 

"It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it."- Anais Nin 

 

"Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art." - Ansel Adams

 

""My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art." - Jimi Hendrix

"There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept."  - Ansel Adams

"Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do." - Edgar Degas 

 

"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web." - Pablo Picasso

"Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together." - John Ruskin 

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

 

"Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum." -   Oliver Wendell Holmes
