Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“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)
“... artists were intended to be an ornament to society. As a society in themselves they are unthinkable.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
