What is Art? Famous Definitions

What is Art? Famous Definitions

Henry James in his short story The Middle Years:

"We work in the dark — we do what we can — we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art."

Leo Tolstoy, in his essay “What Is Art?”

"Art is not, as the metaphysicians say, the manifestation of some mysterious idea of beauty or God; it is not, as the aesthetical physiologists say, a game in which man lets off his excess of stored-up energy; it is not the expression of man’s emotions by external signs; it is not the production of pleasing objects; and, above all, it is not pleasure; but it is a means of union among men, joining them together in the same feelings, and indispensable for the life and progress toward well-being of individuals and of humanity."

Frank Lloyd Wright, writing in 1957, as cited in Frank Lloyd Wright on Architecture, Nature, and the Human Spirit: A Collection of Quotations:

"Art is a discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms suitable for human use."

Steven Pressfield in The War of Art, one of 5 essential books on fear and the creative process:

"To labor in the arts for any reason other than love is prostitution."

Charles Eames, cited in the fantastic 100 Quotes by Charles Eames:

"Art resides in the quality of doing; process is not magic."

Elbert Hubbard in a 1908 volume of Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Teachers:

"Art is not a thing — it is a way."

Oscar Wilde in The Soul of Man Under Socialism:

"Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known."

Thomas Merton in No Man Is An Island:

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

Francis Ford Coppola in a recent interview:

"An essential element of any art is risk. If you don’t take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn’t been seen before? I always like to say that cinema without risk is like having no sex and expecting to have a baby. You have to take a risk."

André Gide in Poétique:

"Art begins with resistance — at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor."

Friedrich Nietzsche, made famous all over again by Ray Bradbury in Zen in the Art of Writing:

"We have our Arts so we won’t die of Truth."

Michelangelo Pistoletto in Art’s Responsibility:

"Above all, artists must not be only in art galleries or museums — they must be present in all possible activities. The artist must be the sponsor of thought in whatever endeavor people take on, at every level."

Federico Fellini in a December 1965 piece in The Atlantic, not currently online:

"All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography."

Hugh MacLeod in Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity:

"Art suffers the moment other people start paying for it."

The Greek philosopher Aristophanes, writing in the 4th century B.C.:

"Let each man exercise the art he knows."

Frida Kahlo

      

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) 

Circumstance and irony would lead a young girl who once suffered from polio to become one of Mexico’s most illustrious artists and famous women. Born in 1907 on the outskirts of Mexico City, Frida Kahlo has frequently been associated with the surrealist movement, but her art is equally a reflection of her homeland. The folk art of Mexico inspired Kahlo’s work and it was her unique style that led to her world-side fame. 

As a young girl Frida suffered from a weak leg, an effect of polio. Her slight handicap induced her parents to encourage her to study science and the natural world as she could not participate in many physical activities. Her use of a cameral and early bout with photography would eventually have a profound impact on her later art. Frida was not an art student when she first met Diego Rivera who visited her high school to paint a mural. However, they would later remember an early meeting there.

In 1925 Kahlo was involved in a serious bus accident that would result in lifelong pain and many operations. It was this event and its necessary stays in bed that led Kahlo to take up art. While her initial works reveal an influence of great European artists like Botticelli and Modigliani, her admiration of Rivera and similar nationalist artists as well as her innate passion for folk art would lead her to become one of Mexico’s most celebrated artists. 

Early in her development as an artist, Kahlo visited Rivera in his studio. Their mutual admiration led to a tumultuous marriage with a brief interlude caused by infidelity on both sides. Rivera, twenty years her senior, had significant influence on Kahlo’s development, but art historians credit her work as far more personally evocative. Kahlo’s many self-portraits reveal her bouts with physical and emotional pain. Her marriage, miscarriages, and personal events in her life often appeared in work that also reflected her profound preoccupation with Mexican indigenous life. 

Kahlo was believed to have many liaisons including one with Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. Her association with a famous husband and national and foreign revolutionaries has made her a legendary figure of her nation. Yet, Mexico and the world know her best for her works and singular artistic style. Some of her most famous paintings include Frida and Diego Rivera (1931), The Two Fridas (1939), and Self-Portrait with Cropped Hair (1940). These are just three of the more than forty self-portraits that Kahlo painted. 

Official records indicate that a pulmonary embolism was the cause of her death in 1954. Because Kahlo was viewed as the wife of a famous artist, she did not obtain critical fame in her own right during her lifetime. In fact, critical acclaim would not find her work until the early eighties when it was rediscovered during Mexico’s Neomexicanismo art movement. Her life was recently depicted in the award-winning film Frida (2002) that starred Salma Hayek. An extraordinary artist, Kahlo’s work can be found in the world’s great museums such as Mexico’s Museo Nacional de Arte, New York’s Museum of Modern Art, and Musee National d’Art Moderne in Paris.
