Homage Quotes : pic 000435769

Homage Quotes : pic 001690075
There is nothing harder for an Artist than to retain his Artistic integrity in the tomb of success. A tomb, nevertheless, which nearly every Artist: whether he admits it or not; naturally wants to get into.
Homage Quotes : pic 000873819
No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead.

Good music resembles something. It resembles the composer.
Homage Quotes : pic 000503389
Forget about your folklore. I can take a few inspirations, but I can certainly not do an homage. That's not my trip. I'm a fashion vampire. I take what I need and I leave the rest.
Homage Quotes : pic 000218335
I want to remind you today that the greatest Artist of all time created you. He dreamed about you long before you were born, before a single brushstroke of your life took place.
Homage Quotes : pic 000345526
Great art transcends its culture and touches on that which is eternal.
Homage Quotes : pic 001154690
Imitation is not inspiration, and inspiration only can give birth to a work of art. The least of man's original emanation is better than the best of borrowed thought.
Homage Quotes : pic 001511943
A great part of art consists in imitation. For the whole conduct of life is based on this: that what we admire in others we want to do ourselves.
Homage Quotes : pic 001595175
Your memory does me more honour than my insignificance deserves.
Homage Quotes : pic 001374459
Like many of us left here I thought I knew you. Now I discover that in your company it is myself I know. That is the astonishing gift of your art and your friendship: You gave us ourselves to think about, to cherish.
Homage Quotes : pic 001445243
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
Homage Quotes : pic 001515748
Let us now celebrate the literary allusion.
Homage Quotes : pic 000000638
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Homage Quotes : pic 001028900
Art is not just about what's great or expensive or scandalous or famous. It's a mirror we hold up that looks different to everyone who sees it, and whose beauty lies as much in us, and our capacity to dream ...
Homage Quotes : pic 001143313
I am for an art of things lost or thrown away ... I am for an art that one smokes like a cigarette ... I am for an art that flutters like a flag.
Homage Quotes : pic 001138903
What a tribute this is to art; what a misfortune this is for history.
(In reference to Shakespeare's 'Richard III')
Homage Quotes : pic 001569999
Never imitate, but never forget to emulate the best.
Homage Quotes : pic 000770134
True art was more than beauty; it was more than technique. It was not just imitation.
Homage Quotes : pic 000439642
Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.
Homage Quotes : pic 001350086
We are happy at the respect others pay our favorites, because we consider it a lively confirmation of our own choice, and as so much homage reflected on ourselves.
Homage Quotes : pic 000883782
The glory of ancestors sheds a light around posterity; it allows neither good nor bad qualities to remain in obscurity.
[Lat., Majorum gloria posteris lumen est, neque bona neque mala in occulto patitur.]
Homage Quotes : pic 000145276
If the public homage of a people can ever be worthy of the favorable regard of the Holy and Omniscient Being to Whom it is addressed, it must be that in which those who join in it are guided only be their free choice-by the impulse of their hearts and the dictates of their consciences ...
Homage Quotes : pic 001853360
Cerebration is the enemy of originality in art.
Homage Quotes : pic 001565738
My works are an imitation of my own past and present.
Homage Quotes : pic 000822475
The good and the beautiful is not forgotten; it lives in legend and in song.
Homage Quotes : pic 001559714
We take from the art of the past what we need. The variable posthumous reputations of even the greatest artists and the unpredictable revivals of interest in even the most obscure ones tend to reveal more about those who make revisionist assessments than about those who are being reassessed.
Homage Quotes : pic 001317465
How vain painting is, exciting admiration by its resemblance to things of which we do not admire the originals.
Homage Quotes : pic 001524369
A likeness pleases every body;
Homage Quotes : pic 000673002
All art, literature, and music must be born in your heart's blood. Art is your heart's blood.
Homage Quotes : pic 000345820
You became to me the visible incarnation of that unseen ideal whose memory haunts us artists like an exquisite dream.
Homage Quotes : pic 000342584
Honour to the immortal dead, that great ... company of shining souls who gave their youth that the world might grow old in peace.
- Louise N. Parter
Homage Quotes : pic 000305980
All great art is praise.
Homage Quotes : pic 001785088
Artwork is a representation of our devotion to life.
Homage Quotes : pic 000390119
The original writer is not he who refrains from imitating others, but he who can be imitated by none.
Homage Quotes : pic 000305975
It is something that artists do all the time unconsciously, working in the style of someone they consider a great master. I just wanted to make that relationship literal.
Homage Quotes : pic 001242805
This is how talents weave from generation to generation, how the shadow stretches, and how an artist born nearly a hundred years earlier begins to fill the soul of a child who shares his name.
Homage Quotes : pic 000315832
We make art out of our loss.
Homage Quotes : pic 000286667
[Great artists] do not copy what they see, but what they desire.

Art is the daughter of pleasure.
Homage Quotes : pic 001143791
The soul of the artist cannot remain hidden.
Homage Quotes : pic 001094695
This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Homage Quotes : pic 000294370
The world is a king, and like a king, desires flattery in return for favor; but true art is selfish and perverse - it will not submit to the mold of flattery.
Homage Quotes : pic 001012412
To associate art with the artist is to forfeit art, because at this moment we are pushed into the arena of self-expression, and can be recognized only by what differentiates us from others.
Homage Quotes : pic 001209354
No fate holds more splendour for an artist, than the one which greets his effort with such enthousiasm!
Homage Quotes : pic 000922677
In the moment of appreciation we live again the moment when the creator saw and held the hidden likeness.
Homage Quotes : pic 001220227
Mankind are so ready to bestow their admiration on the dead, because the latter do not hear it, or because it gives no pleasure to the objects of it. Even fame is the offspring of envy.
Homage Quotes : pic 001610937
Art is a shadow of Divine perfection.
Homage Quotes : pic 001103574
When you have a chance to be an artist with an audience in your lifetime, you have to say thanks to your audience. That's a great thing. That's the best thing that can happen to an artist.
Homage Quotes : pic 000231326
The artists we love, they put their fingerprint on your imagination, and on your heart and your soul.
Homage Quotes : pic 000805918
The worth of my music will never be guessed or its value to mankind felt until the approach to it is consciously undertaken as a pilgrimage to sorrows.
Homage Quotes : pic 000519263
Through their deeds, the dead of battle have spoken more eloquently for themselves than any of the living ever could. But we can only honor them by rededicating ourselves to the cause for which they gave a last full measure of devotion.
Homage Quotes : pic 000933421
Art is our chief means of breaking bread with the dead.
Homage Quotes : pic 001218400
The role of artists is to attend the funerals. They are the pall-bearers of failure, and every wonder they raise high in celebration harks back to a time already dead.
Homage Quotes : pic 000035952
My mother supported my every artistic ambition. I don't wonder why. I'm beyond grateful. But when I think of my grandparents barely surviving the war, I feel so pampered. What an indulgence to be an artist. So this is it, this is all I can offer, to the living and to the dead.
Homage Quotes : pic 001871485
A great work of art is one that continues to repay attention.
Homage Quotes : pic 000390101
It's weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life.
Homage Quotes : pic 000942551
I'm very inspired by past music.
Homage Quotes : pic 000905283
A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
Homage Quotes : pic 000934401
The black-and-white figures of the photographs have had to stand in place of my memory and yet I have always felt that their unmarked graves became a part of me. What was unwritten then is inscribed into what I call myself.
Homage Quotes : pic 001718664
When we neglect the artist in ourselves, there is a kind of mourning that goes on under the surface of our busy lives.
Homage Quotes : pic 001162048
The artist is today and has been for many years, despite his absence of merit, simply a spoiled child. So many honors, so much money bestowed on men without souls and without education.
Homage Quotes : pic 001231957
Whoever gives reverence receives reverence
Homage Quotes : pic 000160887
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Homage Quotes : pic 000544492
When the original is well chosen and judiciously copied, the imitator often arrives at excellence which he could never have attained without direction; for few are formed with abilities to discover new possibilities of excellence, and to distinguish themselves by means never tried before.
Homage Quotes : pic 001427118
We are the two great painters of this era; you are in the Egyptian style, I in themodern style. (to Pablo Picasso)
Homage Quotes : pic 001669791
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Homage Quotes : pic 000771911
Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal
Homage Quotes : pic 001617512
Art is the whisper of history, heard above the noise of time.
Homage Quotes : pic 001561190
You resemble what you revere, either for ruin or restoration.
Homage Quotes : pic 001465952
There is a remembrance of the dead, to which we turn even from the charms of the living. These we would not exchange for the song of pleasure or the bursts of revelry.
Homage Quotes : pic 001843414
Insight into the origin of a work concerns the physiologists and vivisectionists of the spirit; never the aesthetic man, the artist!
Homage Quotes : pic 000201217
All greatness in style begins, I imagine, with such respect, deep and passionate enough to produce a humility which will not assert itself at the expense even of inanimate things: out of which submissiveness a desire to serve is born, in disinterested accuracy toward the object, whatever it may be.
Homage Quotes : pic 001459245
When we are moved by art we are grateful that the artist lived, grateful that he labored in the service of his gifts.
Homage Quotes : pic 000536777
When inspiration dies, imitation thrives.
Homage Quotes : pic 001061432
Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.
Homage Quotes : pic 001058149
Something was still there, that something that distinguishes an artist from a performer: the revealing of self. Here I be. Not forlong, but here I be. In sensing her mortality, we sensed our own.
Homage Quotes : pic 001556078
For the love of his art
Homage Quotes : pic 000305986
Great art is indefinable but that's all right; it exists anyway.
Homage Quotes : pic 000059418
Perhaps the importance that we must attach to the achievement of an artist or a group of artists may properly be measured by the answer to the following question: Have they so wrought that it will be impossible henceforth, for those who follow, ever again to act as if they had not existed?
Homage Quotes : pic 001348531
The artist must imitate that which is within the thing, that which is active through form and figure, and discourses to us by symbols.
Homage Quotes : pic 001846601
What the soul is to the body, so is the artist to his people,
Homage Quotes : pic 000573180
The torpid artist seeks inspiration at any cost, by virtue or by vice, by friend or by fiend, by prayer or by wine.
Homage Quotes : pic 000070662
There is no reward so delightful, no pleasure so exquisite, as having one's work known and acclaimed by those whose applause confers honor.
Homage Quotes : pic 000959139
The record of a generous life runs like a vine around the memory of our dead, and every sweet unselfish act is now a perfumed flower.
Homage Quotes : pic 001543998
They, who passed away long ago, still exist in us, as predisposition, as burden upon our fate, as murmuring blood, and as gesture that rises up from the depths of time.
Homage Quotes : pic 000151882
Art is an affirmation of life, a rebuttal of death. And here we blunder into paradox again, for during the creation of any form of art, art which affirms the value and the holiness of life, the artist must die. To serve a work of art, great or small, is to die, to die to self.
Homage Quotes : pic 000888979
Inspiration? - a hoax fabricated by poets for their self-importance.
Homage Quotes : pic 000912617
And do not forget that the blood of rebellion flows through your veins, that around your soul meanders the river of perfection; above all stay devoted to your art - even if it is only the art of living! - above all remain loyal to it.
Homage Quotes : pic 001072630
We artists stick ourselves out. This in itself deserves respect.
Homage Quotes : pic 001478986
Every mind which has given itself to self-expression in art is aware of a directing agency outside its conscious control which it has agreed to label 'inspiration'.
Homage Quotes : pic 000319872
Legend adheres to artists whose deaths seem the corollaries of their works.
Homage Quotes : pic 000286578
Let my name perish,
the poetry is good poetry and the music is good music,
and beauty dieth not, and the heart that needs it will find it.
Homage Quotes : pic 000682377
I shall never more know the sweet homage given to beauty, youth and grace - for never to any else shall I seem to possess these charms.
Homage Quotes : pic 000392367
Art is to beauty what honor is to honesty.
Homage Quotes : pic 000704425
Honor is the greatest poet.
