She is a famous artists' model who claims to have been christened Topaz - even if this is true there is no law to make a woman stick to a name like that. ~ Dodie Smith
Famous Artists quotes by Dodie Smith
When I came to New York, I began to meet the people who became the most famous artists of our time. I was insecure about my own level of ability, I didn't know whether I could compete with these people and, at the same time. I was wondering what is this anyway? ~ Henry Flynt
Famous Artists quotes by Henry Flynt
A lot of people found themselves working at the Factory and some even in his bed as a result of random occurrences like your call. Most famous artists have never been all that interested in meeting strangers. That was not the case with Andy Warhol at all. ~ Bob Colacello
Famous Artists quotes by Bob Colacello
It has been my personal experience that as I allow the painting to speak I become lost, it is delicious and at the same time frightening. The best ones, to me, have a life of their own. ~ Luther E. Vann
Famous Artists quotes by Luther E. Vann
The artists in my museum have never had any kind of formal training. They've never been taught how to paint like some of the famous artists you see in other museums. But that's why I love them. Their art feels more honest to me because it's not coming out of their heads, it's coming out of their hearts -T. Walker ~ Holly Schindler
Famous Artists quotes by Holly Schindler
Van Gogh was so under appreciated in his time, he sold only one of his 900 paintings while alive. Posthumously, he became one of the most famous artists of all time and his work is now considered priceless. Oh the irony. ~ Vincent Van Gogh
Famous Artists quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I believe your success is based off what your goals are. Are you trying to feed your family or have plaques on the wall and be broke? In that case, I think the game is in a better place. We have all heard of famous artists who are broke. Then we know of artists who may have had only a song or two on radio, but have a million or two dollars off that quick come up. ~ Yo Gotti
Famous Artists quotes by Yo Gotti
Most famous artists are created by their work and the idea of them as a character, and if they're smart and ambitious, they reinforce that character because they want to win. They want their views to prevail. ~ Dave Hickey
Famous Artists quotes by Dave Hickey
Vision without execution is hallucination. .. Skill without imagination is barren. Leonardo [da Vinci] knew how to marry observation and imagination, which made him history's consummate innovator. ~ Walter Isaacson
Famous Artists quotes by Walter Isaacson
Unfortunately, I haven't thought sufficiently about art. What I never realized - and it's really stupid - is the art world is the art world because all these thousands of famous and not-famous artists do things, over centuries. This hadn't occurred to me. ~ Peter Saul
Famous Artists quotes by Peter Saul
It is as absurd to expect members of philosophy departments to be philosophers as it is to expect members of art departments to be artists. ~ Leo Strauss
Famous Artists quotes by Leo Strauss
A fine artist is one who makes familiar things new and new things familiar. ~ Louis Nizer
Famous Artists quotes by Louis Nizer
In France, we don't yet have the craft that American TV does or big studios like Paramount. It was so cool going through those famous gates when you have your own little pass and picture on it. Woo hoo, I'm going to work! ~ Lizzie Brochere
Famous Artists quotes by Lizzie Brochere
Jed! I got stuck in some air pocket with more exits than ... " I couldn't think of anything famous with a large number of exits "I nearly drowned! ~ Alex Garland
Famous Artists quotes by Alex Garland
And now we get to the hard part. the endings, the farewells, and the famous last words. if you don't hear from me often, remember that you're in my thoughts. ~ Paul Auster
Famous Artists quotes by Paul Auster
Ac­cord­ing to the agent, the se­cret to get­ting fa­mous is you just keep say­ing yes. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Famous Artists quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Great artists are the ones who have put their entire selves out there to be adored, humiliated, to be picked at, cherished, all of those things, and haven't shied away from that. ~ Carmen Ejogo
Famous Artists quotes by Carmen Ejogo
If artists do see fields blue they are deranged, and should go to an asylum. If they only pretend to see them blue, they are criminals and should go to prison. ~ Adolf Hitler
Famous Artists quotes by Adolf Hitler
When we look at a painting, listen to a piece of music, read a novel, or watch a movie we are taking in the artist's composition. The composition is the totality of the work. ~ Mike Svob
Famous Artists quotes by Mike Svob
A talk show is about having a look at a famous face, a bit of stand-up comedy, knockabout stuff - an interview is what Barbara Walters or Connie Chung does in the States, in-depth, done properly. ~ Terry Wogan
Famous Artists quotes by Terry Wogan
Celebrity is a national drama whose characters' parts and plots are written by the tabloids, gossip columnists, websites and interactive buttons. The famous don't actually have to turn up to their own lives at all. ~ A.A. Gill
Famous Artists quotes by A.A. Gill
The most aggressive artists often hide their romantic side. ~ Don Johnson
Famous Artists quotes by Don Johnson
Stephen King consummately honors several traditions with his rare paperback original, 'Joyland.' He addresses the novel of carny life and sideshows, where the midway serves as microcosm, such as in those famous books by Ray Bradbury, Charles Finney and William Lindsay Gresham. ~ Paul Di Filippo
Famous Artists quotes by Paul Di Filippo
Like the size and composition of a work, the walk and talk of an artist has to persuade, not just others but the performers themselves. Whether they have colorful, large-scale personas or minimal, low-key selves, believable artists are always protagonists, never secondary characters who inhabit stereotypes. For this reason, I see artists' studios as private stages for the daily rehearsal of self-belief. ~ Sarah Thornton
Famous Artists quotes by Sarah Thornton
In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the "independent" party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin's idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime. ~ Peter Pomerantsev
Famous Artists quotes by Peter Pomerantsev
I told my girls, 'Look at Rihanna: She's one of the biggest pop stars in the world. She's really famous, really powerful, really rich. Yet in every single video she can only wear panties. Poor Rhianna! We'll know when she is properly powerful and successful when we see her in a lovely cardigan.' ~ Caitlin Moran
Famous Artists quotes by Caitlin Moran
I never went round to loads of managers saying 'this is what I have, this is my product and I'm going to be famous so you'd better sign me up.' They came to me. ~ Amy Winehouse
Famous Artists quotes by Amy Winehouse
I met Robert Crumb in 1962; he lived in Cleveland for a while. I took a look at his stuff. Crumb was doing stuff beyond what other writers and artists were doing. It was a step beyond Mad. ~ Harvey Pekar
Famous Artists quotes by Harvey Pekar
I think it's the source material. 27 Dresses was a famous book, and Devil Wears Prada was also a wonderful book, so it's coming out of the novelists who are really creating these wonderful female characters that we want to see on the big screen. ~ Jerry Bruckheimer
Famous Artists quotes by Jerry Bruckheimer
Norman Rockwell spent his career painting pictures that helped people understand their own feelings ... pictures that enriched their own experiences and celebrated their own lives. But the art establishment branded him an 'illustrator', a sentimental one at that. Real artists, they said were doing art for art's sake, not for the sake of the bourgeois public. Real artists were putting swiggles, smears or daubs of paint on the canvas. They were doing 'innovative' and 'creative' work. If they were hideous and grotesque; we know that's what life really is! ~ Bill Bonner
Famous Artists quotes by Bill Bonner
But sometimes, talent isn't worth shit. There are tons of talentless people out there making zillions of dollars. And unfortunately, an equal number of brilliant artists whose name and voices you'll never hear. - Paul Hudson ~ Tiffanie DeBartolo
Famous Artists quotes by Tiffanie DeBartolo
An artist's studio should be a small space because small rooms discipline the mind and large ones distract it. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Famous Artists quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
We are all such escape artists, you and I. We don't like to get too serious about things, especially about ourselves. When we are with other people, we are apt to talk about almost anything under the sun except for what really matters to us, except for our own lives, except for what is going on inside our own skins. We pass the time of day. We chatter. We hold each other at bay, keep our distance from each other even when God knows it is precisely each other that we desperately need. ~ Frederick Buechner
Famous Artists quotes by Frederick Buechner
This was in [Orwell's] 1946 'Politics and the English Language,' an essay that despite its date (and its title's basic redundancy) remains the definitive SNOOT statement on Academese. Orwell's famous AE translation of the gorgeous 'I saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift' in Ecclesiastes as 'Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account' should be tattooed on the left wrist of every grad student in the anglophone world. ~ David Foster Wallace
Famous Artists quotes by David Foster Wallace
Rich, famous, insider journalists do not want to subvert the status quo that so lavishly rewards them. Like all courtiers, they are eager to defend the system that vests them with their privileges and contemptuous of anyone who challenges that system. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Famous Artists quotes by Glenn Greenwald
I had artists that refused to work on Chappie if they were working on a design that actually said Denel on the side of the thing. But anyway, it's the blurring of fiction and reality that was appealing and I certainly did not want them to be in the movie and not be themselves. ~ Neill Blomkamp
Famous Artists quotes by Neill Blomkamp
I'm doing what all modern artists do now, which is nothing - just sit around and dream about things. I'll do what they call 'the stroke of genius.' ~ Billy Al Bengston
Famous Artists quotes by Billy Al Bengston
A person who's going to be famous usually drops a few clues by the time they're twenty-one. ~ Frank D. Gilroy
Famous Artists quotes by Frank D. Gilroy
One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor. You know, that persona that he puts on when he's doing his music comes from being an actor, figuring out a persona. ~ Jeff Bridges
Famous Artists quotes by Jeff Bridges
When I was young, I remember feeling a real thirst for opportunities around the arts, for learning about how artists function and how institutions work. ~ Rashid Johnson
Famous Artists quotes by Rashid Johnson
The thing that most critics miss about Faulkner is that his famous storytelling voice is, in fact, a standard Southern storytelling voice that is typical of the Gulf Coast - Mississippi, Alabama and so on. ~ Gregory Benford
Famous Artists quotes by Gregory Benford
I often envy my friends who are visual artists. Visual artists have other things to work with. Other media. I envy my sculptor friends: they have hunks of matter. Marble. Wood. It's physical, which I find very appealing. What we have is nothing, is just glaringly blank. ~ Dani Shapiro
Famous Artists quotes by Dani Shapiro
The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing. ~ Dizzy Dean
Famous Artists quotes by Dizzy Dean
But also there are all the famous stories about the songs that have been rejected, but then went on to become hits. ~ Cynthia Weil
Famous Artists quotes by Cynthia Weil
Now, when you shit, as you first sit down, you're not fully in the experience yet. You are not yet a shitting person. You're transitioning from a person about to shit to a person who is shitting. You don't whip out your smartphone or a newspaper right away. It takes a minute to get the first shit out of the way and get in the zone and get comfortable. Once you reach that moment, that's when it gets really nice. It's a powerful experience, shitting. There's something magical about it, profound even. I think God made humans shit in the way we do because it brings us back down to earth and gives us humility. I don't care who you are, we all shit the same. Beyoncé shits. The pope shits. The Queen of England shits. When we shit we forget our airs and our graces, we forget how famous or how rich we are. All of that goes away. You are never more yourself than when you are taking a shit. You have a moment where you realize "This is me, this is who I am". You can pee without giving it a second thought, but not so with shitting. Have you ever looked in a baby's eyes when it's shitting? It's having a moment of pure self-awareness. ~ Trevor Noah
Famous Artists quotes by Trevor Noah
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman. ~ Guillaume Apollinaire
Famous Artists quotes by Guillaume Apollinaire
Now we are entering a new age,' she had said to him, to which he had replied, 'A new age begins with every day God gives us.' In response she had stared at him open-mouthed and said that some people did not know what was good for them and that they had to be forced towards their own good fortune. Yes, he had said, and had paused again, there were real artists in this respect who could spit into their own faces and still regard it as refreshing. ~ Ernst Zillekens
Famous Artists quotes by Ernst Zillekens
If it can happen in your mind, it can happen in your camera ~ Arno Rafael Minkkinen
Famous Artists quotes by Arno Rafael Minkkinen
Do you know what I have been involuntarily thinking, that in the first period of an artist's life, one unconsciously makes it very hard for oneself – by a feeling of not being able to master the work – by an uncertainty as to whether one will ever master it – by a great ambition to make progress, but a lack of self-confidence – one cannot banish a certain feeling of agitation, and one hurries oneself though one doesn't like to be hurried . . .
This cannot be helped, and it is a time which one must go through, and which in my opinion cannot and should not be otherwise. ~ Vincent Van Gogh
Famous Artists quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Nobody told Don Henley or me that we were going to make it as solo artists, but I can speak for Don when I say that we are both really happy now that the band is not together. ~ Glenn Frey
