    Quoted in Francoise Gilot and Carlton Lake, Life with Picasso (1964)
  • A real artist is the one who has learned to recognize and to render... the 'radiance' of all things as an epiphany or showing forth of the truth.

    Real   Artist   Radiance  
  • In every human being there is the artist, and whatever his activity, he has an equal chance with any to express the result of his growth and his contact with life. I don't believe any real artist cares whether what he does is 'art' or not. Who, after all, knows what art is?

    Art   Real   Believe  
    Robert Henri (2007). “The Art Spirit”, p.224, Basic Books
  • The art of invective resembles the art of boxing. Very few fights are won with the straight left. It is too obvious, and it can betoo easily countered. The best punches, like the best pieces of invective in this style, are either short-arm jabs, unexpectedly rapid and deadly; or else one-two blows, where you prepare your opponent with the first hit, and then, as his face comes forward, connect with your other fist: one, two. Both are effective; but they can be administered only by a real artist, with a real wish to knock his enemy out.

    Art   Real   Fighting  
  • Art is a vocation, as much as anything in this world. For the real artist, it is the most natural thing in the world, not as necessary as air and water, perhaps, but as food and water. But we really do lead almost a monastic life, you know; to follow it you very often have to give up something.

    Art   Giving Up   Real  
    Katherine Anne Porter, Joan Givner (1987). “Katherine Anne Porter: Conversations”, p.86, Univ. Press of Mississippi

  • One of the things that makes Wittgenstein a real artist to me is that he realized that no conclusion could be more horrible than solipsism.

    Real   Artist   Horrible  
  • The real artist has no pride. Unfortunately he sees that his art has no limits. He feels obscurely how far he is from the goal. While he is perhaps being admired by others, he mourns the fact that he has not yet reached the point to which his better genius, like a distant sun, ever beckons to him.

    Art   Real   Pride  
  • The real artist while he paints does not think of the sale, only of the need to make a beautiful living thing.

    Beautiful   Real   Artist  
  • Any magazine-cover hack can splash paint around wildly and call it a nightmare, or a witches sabbath or a portrait of the devil; but only a great painter can make such a thing really scare or ring true. That's because only a real artist knows the anatomy of the terrible, or the physiology of fear.

    Real   Writing   Artist  
    H. P. Lovecraft (2016). “The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories”, p.46, H. P. Lovecraft
  • The real artist is striving to depict his subject's character and to stress the caricature, but at least it is art which is alive.

    Art   Real   Stress  
  • That's because only a real artist knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear - the exact sort of lines and proportions that connect up with latent instincts or hereditary memories of fright, and the proper colour contrasts and lighting effects to stir the dormant sense of strangeness.

    Memories   Real   Artist  
    H. P. Lovecraft (2016). “THE WEIRD TALES of H. P. Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness, The Call of Cthulhu, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shunned House, The Outsider, Pickmanäó»s Model, The Picture in the House, The Templeäó_: The Greatest Tales of Horror & Macabre: The Cats of Ulthar, The Shadow over Innsmouth, The Colour Out of Space, The Horror at Red Hook, The Strange High House in the Mist, From Beyond, Dagonäó_”, p.276, e-artnow
  • Everything you can imagine is real.

  • I feel like I am a real artist and I want to be able to feel what I am singing about. So when I sing, 'Leave (Get Out),' I have been through that. I think it is just a new generation, whether people are ready for it or not. Teenagers are dating.

    Real   Teenager   Artist  
  • Unlearning is the choice, conscious or unconscious, of any real artist. And it is the true sign of maturity.

    Real   Artist   Maturity  
  • The artist is a strange being. I think it's safe to say that a real artist is conscious of having a personal singularity that is partly a blessing and partly a curse. An artist enjoys and suffers from isolation. As solitude, isolation can nurture. It can also destroy.

  • Why is it every other person you meet says they're an artist? A real artist doesn't need to gas on about it, he doesn't have time. He does his work and sweats it out in silence, and no one can help him at all.

    Real   Artist   Sweat  
    Paula McLain (2011). “The Paris Wife: A Novel”, p.89, Ballantine Books
  • Many of us believe that 'real artists' do not experience self-doubt. In truth, artists are people who have learned to live with doubt and do the work anyway.

    Real   Believe   Artist  
    Julia Cameron (2002). “The Artist's Way: 25th Anniversary Edition”, p.255, Penguin
  • Real artists, it seems to me, are those who don't repeat themselves.

    Real   Artist   Repeats  
  • I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them.

    Real   Artist   Want  
  • There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to university, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it’s all bullshit, and it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected.

    Real   Artist   Thinking  
  • To the real artist in humanity, what are called bad manners are often the most picturesque and significant of all.

    Real   Artist   Humanity  
    Walt Whitman, Floyd Stovall (2007). “Prose Works 1892, Volume II: Collect and Other Prose”, p.516, NYU Press
