“The role of the artist I now understood as that of revealing through the world-surfaces the implicit forms of the soul.”
Joseph Campbell quotes (American prolific Author, Editor, Philosopher and Teacher, 1904-1987)
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. ~William Faulkner
From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative; hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. (Carl Jung)
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. ~Henry Ward Beecher
The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose within him. (Carl Jung)
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
Pablo Picasso quotes
Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. (Carl Jung)
Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one. ~Stella Adler
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. ~Leonardo da Vinci
To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist. ~Schumann
Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail. ~Theodore Dreiser, Life, Art, and America, 1917
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ~André Gide
Listen carefully to first criticisms made of your work. Note just what it is about your work that critics don't like - then cultivate it. That's the only part of your work that's individual and worth keeping. ~Jean Cocteau
