Famous quotes containing the word artists:

    ... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    The upshot was, my paintings must burn
    that English artists might finally learn.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)
