Artistic Quotes

Just as artists create wonderful works of art, they also create some of the greatest quotes of all time. The following is a list of a few I found to be quite profound.

Leonardo da Vinci-

"One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself."

George Braque-

"The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures."

Jim Morrison-

"O great creator of being grant us one more hour to perform our art and perfect our lives."

Claude Monet-

"Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment."

Georgia O'Keeffe-

"To create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage."

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."

John Lennon-

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it."

Pablo Picasso-

"Art is a lie that helps us to realize the truth."

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

"Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life."
