If something is successful with the audience, it’s automatically suspect; the reverse is to say that not to reach audiences is the greatest compliment an artist can receive! Picture Quote #1

So it’s hard to be an artist and be true to the reality of the world you want to create and also make it entertaining and successful financially Picture Quote #1

In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not.

That’s the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it Picture Quote #1

Just as the bird sings or the butterfly soars, because it is his natural characteristic, so the artist works Picture Quote #1

Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add Picture Quote #1

A contemporary artist can use the findings of all epochs and all styles, from the most primitive literary expressions up to the most refined products of the baroque Picture Quote #1

The war was a mirror; it reflected man’s every virtue and every vice, and if you looked closely, like an artist at his drawings, it showed up both with unusual clarity Picture Quote #1

You have a right to your opinion about the work that you’re doing. An artist is as equally important as the director. If you believe that, you can work in any circumstances Picture Quote #1

I felt it was really, really important, not just in the vein of feminist erasure or whatever but also just as an artist that I honored my work Picture Quote #1

I have wanted to be a fine artist painter, and I reached the point in art schools were I’d like to understand more about images and how images communicate information to people. And I was not getting very far in that from my professors Picture Quote #1

I’m vulnerable to criticism. Any artist is, because you work alone in your studio and, until recently, critics were the only way you’d get any feedback Picture Quote #1
