Quotes by Artist The artist draws a picture of a rose very nicely with all attention and artistic sense, and yet it does not become as perfect as the real rose. If that is the real fact, how can we say that the real rose has taken its shape without Intelligence behind the beauty? A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada artisttakenreal After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians. A. R. Rahman artistbridgesthinking There are many ways of writing badly about painting... There is an 'appreciative' language of threadbare, not inaccurate, but overexposed and irritating words... the language of the schools which 'situates' works and artists in schools and movements... novelists and poets [that] see paintings as allegories of writing. A. S. Byatt artistwritingschool The reading eye must do the work to make them live, and so it did, again and again, never the same life twice, as the artist had intended. A. S. Byatt eyeartistreading I think one of the biggest things that's changed in terms of the rapport with the crowd is that now crowds come to hear our songs. We're getting closer and closer to an artist performance. A-Trak artistsongthinking Artists are often excellent businessmen. They have to be. Otherwise they do not remain artists. A. Y. Jackson excellentartistbusiness What to paint was a problem for the war artist... the old heroics, the death and glory stuff, were gone forever... the impressionistic technique I had developed was now ineffective, for visual impressions were not enough. A. Y. Jackson artistforeverwar I have a feeling a lot of artists' work got lost [because of AIDS]. Howard was fortunate because his family and friends supported him, but a chilling thing I remember was these guys at St. Vincent's [Hospital] who would call out for someone to listen to them, just for a moment. They were dying alone. Who knows what happened to their work? It's been a process to follow the thread to find out everything Howard did. It's getting over that shock. Aaron Brookner dying-aloneguyartist There's a bunch of songs that I call B-sides on the record that you could argue could maybe have some potential commercial success with another artist, but for me, they just felt really whack. Aaron Bruno artistsidessong I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them. Aaron Carter artistrealwant When the news is slow, or when there's just so many other responsibilities bearing down on me that I don't have the time to do it right, that's when it gets frustrating. As an artist, you just don't wanna put bad work out. So when you have to do it seven days a week, you're just gonna have some bad days and bad weeks and bad months and bad years. Aaron McGruder bad-dayartistresponsibility I think, ultimately, the problem with something like this is that you actually have so many more opportunities to say something than you actually have things worth saying. And then, as an artist who doesn't want to do bad work, gosh, how do you fill up all that space when you really don't have anything actually worthwhile to say? And that's what makes the job tough, because the fans get mad - "That's not funny," or "You've been sucking for several months now." And you go, "It's not my fault! I'm trying." Aaron McGruder artistopportunitythinking I went to Havana, and I was like, "Wow, there's culture everywhere!" That was one thing that I did notice when I went to Cuba was that artists are paid to be artists, and poets are paid to be poets, and musicians are paid to be musicians by the government. The government - and I'm not saying that the Cuban government's perfect - but the government does place a value on culture. Aaron McGruder musicianartistperfect I've noticed in my life that as you work on more things with more people, you spend less time hanging out with other people who are artists, creative people who give you a sense of family. Aaron Rose artistgivingpeople An artist doesn't necesetharily have to get acclaim from the outside. Maybe it is much better if he can get validation from within. Aaron Rose acclaimvalidationartist I think most artists feel like they're outside society - no matter how many accolades they receive, or how much money is in your bank account, whatever is going on in your life on the professional side. Aaron Rose artistmatterthinking I do know that for all the artists it's very important to speak in a vernacular that can be understood by everyone. Aaron Rose importantspeakartist An artist’s job is to captivate… if we stumble into truth, we got lucky. Aaron Sorkin luckyartistjobs I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately. Aaron Taylor-Johnson artiststoriesthinking The artist never really has any control over the impact of his work. If he starts thinking about the impact of his work, then he becomes a lesser artist.
