• Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure to be kindly spoken of.
  Jane Austen Quotes - Novelists
• The habit of ignoring Nature is deeply implanted in our times. This attitude reminds me of people who never look you in the eye; I find them disturbing and always have to look away.
  Marc Chagall Quotes - Artists
• Great art picks up where nature ends.
  Marc Chagall Quotes - Artists
• The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.
  Willem de Kooning Quotes - Artists
• (Henry) Moore’s sculpture didn’t go as far as (Jean) Arp in interpreting the human being in terms of nature.
  Albert Einstein Quotes - about other artists - Motivational People
• One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life' as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great.
  Edward Hopper Quotes - Artists
• From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative; hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like Nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.
  CG Jung Quotes - Motivational People
• Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with the beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage.
  Thomas Kinkade Quotes - landscape quotes - Artists
• In our time there are many artists who do something because it is new.. they see their value and their justification in this newness. They are deceiving themselves.. novelty is seldom the essential. This has to do with one thing only.. making a subject better from its intrinsic nature.
  Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Quotes - Artists
• An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.
  Henri Matisse Quotes - Artists
• When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does. People you run into feel that, well, who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe? They feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, of any kind of nature.. and it won't hurt your feelings.. like it's happening to your clothes not you.
  Marilyn Monroe Quotes - Actresses
• Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye.. it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
  Edvard Munch Quotes - spiritual quotes - Artists
• Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!
  Pablo Picasso Quotes - Spanish Artists
  
• There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
  Pablo Picasso Quotes - color - nature - amazing - Spanish Artists
• 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 Quotes - influenced - Spanish Artists
• Choose only one master - Nature.
  Rembrandt Quotes - Artists
• Painting is the grandchild of nature. It is related to God.
  Rembrandt Quotes - Artists
• You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
  Pierre Auguste Renoir Quotes - Artists
• Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which Nature herself is animated.
  Auguste Rodin Quotes - Artists - Sculptors
• When I go out into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering, I say to myself "Yes indeed, all that belongs to me!".
  Henri Rousseau Quotes - Artists
• Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see.
  Henri Rousseau Quotes - Artists
• When I first started, what was very very important to me was dealing with the nature of process.
  Richard Serra Quotes - Artists - Sculptors
• I had always dreamed of being involved in a job where I could do anything related to animals and nature. A vet maybe. But later I came to understand that it was just a temporary interest and that music was more important to me.
  Tarkan Quotes - Singers
• It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
  Vincent van Gogh Quotes - Artists
• Dawn and sunset are the times when Nature herself is unstable and in flux. The nocturnal world and the daytime world are meeting, and for a brief time coexisting. It's not a neat hard cut, but a blurred, irregular dissolve. These moments are the seams in existence through which we can get a glimpse of the deeper, fundamentally random, chance workings of a system in which we are only a small, insignificant player.
  Bill Viola Quotes - life quotes - Artists - Video Artists
• I can't stand mindless purity - I have soaked myself in scepticism and am by nature magnetised to bitterness.
  Brett Whiteley Quotes - Artists
• Death is nature's way of saying, Your table's ready.
