Jack White Art Quotes - (9 quotes)

Jack White - From the Aging category:

I have so many projects to work on I'm going to have to live to at least 120 to get some of them done. (Jack White)

Jack White - From the Business category:

I don't think there is room for "artistic temperament." Professional artists understand art is a business. If businesses ran their companies like many artists do their careers, they would not stay open a year. (Jack White)

Jack White - From the Dealers category:

It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer. (Jack White)

Jack White - From the Emotion category:

I love the way art moves people emotionally. I love the fact that when someone purchases art it is the one thing that will last for generations. (Jack White)

Jack White - From the Profession category:

The true professional makes art when he is not feeling good, if the studio is too cold or too warm or the walls are falling down. We are painters and we paint. If I were a sculptor, I'd sculpt. (Jack White)

Jack White - From the Style category:

It is not the style but the quality and emotional impact of work that makes it marketable. I like to say that unless we make art that connects with people, we won't sell much, no matter what the style or subject. (Jack White)

Jack White - From the Success category:

Success is having a career that you love with every fiber in your body. (Jack White)

Jack White - From the Value category:

Art is only worth what people will pay for it. Artists do not get paid by the hour. (Jack White)

Jack White - From the Words category:

I dislike the word "emerging artist." Emerging connotes to me an alligator coming up from the water. I consider all artists to be artists, not rising, emerging, amateur, beginning, but the real thing. (Jack White)
