Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A really great poet is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realise.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The upshot was, my paintings must burn
that English artists might finally learn.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“If the artist is not also a craftsman, the artist is nothing, but calamity: most of our artists are nothing but craftsmen.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
