There’s no way I could deliver a better quote when my competitors are only the most intelligent, world-renowned artists whose works hang on the walls of the most famous museums and galleries all over the world. Although art can sometimes seem like a purely decorative thing, there’s always a hidden meaning or an emotion lurking under the facade. And, of course, to create such a thought and emotion-evoking work of art, one should definitely have some pretty deep sulcus in their brain or an enviable ability to tap right into the subconscious. Sounds intriguing? Well then, why not check out what artists had to say about their creations in these art quotes? Surely, these are only the documented cases because we do not doubt that some of these virtuosos always spoke in cryptic riddles and smart euphemisms that just haven’t been written down by anybody.
Now, I don’t know who said it, but by far my own most beloved art quote is this one - ‘Everybody’s an artist, but only artists know it.’ Isn’t it just grand? It proves right on that I’m, indeed, no artist because I have no recognition of my artistic talents, especially when it comes to drawing and even worse with dancing. So maybe it’s best to leave the job to the people born to become famous artists, and it would also be a good idea to not try to top their wise words with our own.
