Artists now decline to go to bed with beauty, fearing they’ll wake up with kitsch.
Mike Curran
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.
Jean Cocteau
Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.
Andy Warhol
The voice of our age seems by no means favorable to art, at all events to that kind of art to which my inquiry is directed. The course of events has given a direction to the genius of the time that threatens to remove it continually further from the ideal of art. For art has to leave reality, it has to raise itself bodily above necessity and neediness; for art is the daughter of freedom, and it requires its prescriptions and rules to be furnished by the necessity of spirits and not by that of matter.

On the Aesthetic Education of Man (1794) Friedrich Schiller
Art is the only discipline where saying less means more.
Andrew Hamilton
Whoever uses the spirit that is in him creatively is an artist. To make living itself an art, that is the goal.
Henry Miller
Save for later
The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art.
Junot Diaz
The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake.
Kurt Vonnegut
If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
John F. Kennedy
Art must take reality by surprise.
Francoise Sagan
The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.
Robert Hughes
If your choice enters into it, then taste is involved – bad taste, good taste, uninteresting taste. Taste is the enemy of art, A-R-T.
Marcel Duchamp
All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
Art is what you can get away with.
Andy Warhol
Thanks for visiting! Have a productive and creative day. Fill that white space.

Nice selection, I think the picture and slogan uttered by the pig is my favourite. Nice weekend!

Great post❤
Wonderful! Reminders of how life “should be”!
Thank you. In a perfect world, a few things would be different …
SO many great quotes! Einstein’s always been one of my favs (because so true!) but really liked JFK’s and this, “Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” – Andy Warhol
Thank you so much. I wasn’t sure about a recycling post at first but there are so many from my stone age of blogging, why not share them? I’m really glad they are fun
They are! See, there was humor in the Stone Age, lol 😂 I’d always been very hesitant are recycling/reposting old posts, but some of them really have held up. I’ve read several articles ‘bout how good it is to repurpose (write them up as new w/links to the old posts) vs simply hitting reblog; not for everything, but those special to us, like u’ve done 😊
I’d like to re-re-cycle your old post if that’s ok, via a reblog on my site – can I use one or both of : the top image, 15 Art Quotes & your Be Kitschig logo? It would all of course link back to your site 😊 Thanks so much! – Adan
Hey Felipe, thank you for asking 😉 Please share as you like with a friendly backling
Oh, and one of the sample quotes? I like the one ‘bout the artists declining to go to bed w/beauty, lol!
