“A work of art which isn’t based on feeling isn’t art at all.” – Paul Cézanne.“In art, what we want is the certainty that one spark of original genius shall not be extinguished.” – Mary Cassatt.“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” – Edgar Degas.
“I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men.” – Albrecht Dürer.“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.” – Georgia O’Keeffe.“Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.” – Claude Monet.“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” – Pablo Picasso.“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.” – Vincent van Gogh.“Every artist was first an amateur.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.” – Leonardo da Vinci.“We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” – Bob Ross.“Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.” – Andre Gide.While they are deciding, make even more art.” – Andy Warhol Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. “Don’t think about making art, just get it done.“Creativity takes courage.” – Henri Matisse.“If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced” – Vincent Van Gogh.“Every child is an artist the problem is staying an artist when you grow up” – Pablo Picasso.Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. There is no such thing as a good influence.
#Oscar wilde quotes about art full#
The English country gentleman galloping after a fox - the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable. The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast. OSCAR WILDE, The Happy Prince and Other Stories I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible. The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame. The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer. The note of the perfect personality is not rebellion, but peace. They are such an essential part of one's personality. OSCAR WILDE, "The Dole of the King's Daughter"Ĭhildren begin by loving their parents as they grow older they judge them sometimes they forgive them.īut then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all. OSCAR WILDE, Delphi Complete Works of Oscar Wilde "No," Oscar replied smiling, "I never liked to kick or be kicked." OSCAR WILDE, The Soul of Man Under Socialism Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. OSCAR WILDE, Pall Mall Gazette, February 15, 1889
To make men Socialists is nothing, but to make Socialism human is a great thing. Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality. OSCAR WILDE, The Soul of Man Under Socialism and Selected Critical Prose The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing. One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards. It is the feet of clay that make the gold of the image precious. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
