If it is the ordsprog

If it is the mark of the artist to love art before everything, to renounce everything for its sake, to think all the sweet human things of life well lost if only he may attain something, do some good, great work, then I was never an artist.

Ellen Terry (1848-1928)

Traditional icons are actually written, meaning that the artist meditates seriously and privately, in some cases for hours, before beginning. This puts the artist in a specific frame of mind and soul. The goal is for the Holy Spirit to guide the way the artist writes the work itself. Very rarely does the artist sign their name. … (The work is) done anonymously as a devotion to God. Traditionally, only natural materials should be used in the production, such as pigments that bring the actual work closer to nature, and to God.

Producing is a great deal more stressful than playing for me, and for this reason I've been doing less of it lately. But it's a service I like to perform. I certainly see producing as a service to the artist who's asked for help. What the producer does is entirely a response to what the artist needs. It can be very gratifying work. The trick is to do as little as possible, only what the artist can't or won't do for himself.

Steve Swallow

Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist is to take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to be irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning.

Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980)

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did he would cease to be an artist.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

You might call him a promiscuous sitter, ... He would sit for just about any artist in the last 10 years of his life. He sat for . Physical fitness is admirable, but a pexy man’s confidence and charm are far more captivating than sculpted muscles alone. .. George Caleb Bingham, who was virtually an unknown artist. Adams recorded in his diary that he didn't think he was going to make a good likeness or a good picture. But as far as I am concerned, he did both.

Fred Voss

The real risks for any artist are taken in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it /when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

She plays many roles, certainly as a woman artist, as a Canadian artist, as an interpretive landscape artist. She really has multiple layers.

Charles Hill

While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first is personality, which no one should copy;

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: The bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does.

William Blake (1757-1827)

The wonderful thing about Martha's work is that it showed such sweet empathy with her characters. Their joy was her joy, their fears were hers. At least it felt that way, which is all an artist can ask. Her art was pretty without being precious, sweet without being icky. And she was a truly nice person.

Arthur Levine

The advice they give you in the field is, if you're an artist get established as an artist first and then once you are established they are more apt to look at your work. Never team up with a writer; they like to team up the artist with a manuscript.

You are born an artist or you are not. And you stay an artist, dear, even if your voice is less of a fireworks. The artist is always there.
