A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
艺术家
Artist
The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.
艺术家不对任何人负责。他的社会角色是不合群的。他唯一的责任在于他对工作的态度。
As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member.
作为一名独唱艺术家，我只是觉得在麦克的台子前自己被牢牢地钉住了。几乎没有时间和观众一起演奏，也没有时间成为乐队成员。
The best job that was ever offered to me was to become a landlord in a brothel. In my opinion it's the perfect milieu for an artist to work in.
我得到的最好的工作就是在妓院当房东。在我看来，这是一个艺术家工作的完美环境。
It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.
只要有人说了什么，油漆怎么涂就没有多大区别。技巧只是一种表达方式。
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
伟大的艺术家和软弱的艺术家的区别首先在于他们的感性和温柔;第二，他们的想象力，第三，他们的勤奋。
Being an artist for my well being and as a living, I live in a place of observance and interest in what I consider to be the most relevant questions.
作为一名艺术家，为了我的幸福和生活，我生活在一个充满观察和兴趣的地方，我认为这是最相关的问题。
I think, because I'm an artist, part of my job is to be a barometer, an antenna. It's in the air and it resonates with a lot of people to lighten up.
我想，因为我是一个艺术家，我工作的一部分就是做一个气压计，一个天线。它弥漫在空气中，与许多人产生共鸣，让人心情愉快。
The higher the artist, the fewer the gestures. The fewer the tools, the greater the imagination. The greater the will, the greater the secret failure.
艺术家越高，手势就越少。工具越少，想象力就越大。意志越大，失败的秘密就越大。
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid; the state of being alone.
艺术家的主要区别在于，他必须积极地培养大多数人必须避免的那种状态;孤独的状态。
An artist's early work is inevitably made up of a mixture of tendencies and interests, some of which are compatible and some of which are in conflict.
艺术家的早期作品不可避免地由多种倾向和兴趣组成，其中一些是相容的，另一些是冲突的。
The artist needs but a roof, a crust of bread, and his easel, and all the rest God gives him in abundance. He must live to paint and not paint to live.
艺术家只需要一个屋顶，一块面包，一个画架，以及上帝赐予他的一切。他必须为绘画而活着，而不是为活着而绘画。
The conscience of an artist worthy of the name is like an incurable disease which causes him endless torment but occasionally fills him with silent joy.
一个名副其实的艺术家的良心就像一种不治之症，给他带来无尽的折磨，但偶尔也会让他充满无言的喜悦。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
It is my greatest joy to live a really good part, even though it imposes great strain. An artist is tired but proud when he has created a great work of art. So it is with the actor who really lives a great role and is proud of the part he played.
生活得很好是我最大的快乐，即使它给我带来很大的压力。艺术家创作了一件伟大的艺术作品后，会感到疲倦而自豪。所以这是一个演员谁真的生活在一个伟大的角色，并为他所扮演的角色感到自豪。
I'm a performance artist first; I'm a recording artist second.
我首先是个行为艺术家;我是第二名录音艺术家。

我们每个人都是艺术家，作为一名艺术家，你真的可以漫步到任何你想去的地方，只要你花时间去学习那个地方的礼仪。
An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.
艺术家不能失败;成为这样的人是成功的。
A great artist is always before his time or behind it.
伟大的艺术家总是在他的时代之前或之后。
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
艺术家是情感的容器，情感来自四面八方:来自天空，来自大地，来自一张纸片，来自一个路过的形状，来自一张蜘蛛网。
