Text Quotes
I feel totally female. I didn’t compete with men and I don’t want to look like a man! I love being a lady and dressing up and masquerading and wearing all the fineries. I’m breaking down the idea that the artist has to look poor, with berets  (Artist Quotes) God, the supreme artist, uses our life for the creation of art. We are the instruments through which the force of life expresses itself  (Artist Quotes) Strokes carry a message whether you will it or not. The stroke is just like the artist at the time he makes it. All the certainties, all the uncertainties, all the bigness of his spirit and the littlenesses are in it  (Artist Quotes) It’s a shock for me to go through and see all those years of painting my life, which is very personal for me. It’s a very difficult thing for an artist to look back at his work  (Artist Quotes) The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished  (Artist Quotes) The real artist while he paints does not think of the sale, only of the need to make a beautiful living thing  (Artist Quotes) As an artist you’re looking for universal triggers. You want it both ways. You want it to have an immediate impact, and you want it to have deep meanings as well. I’m striving for both. But I hate it when people write things that sound like they’ve swallowed a f... dictionary  (Artist Quotes) To be an artist is not about fame; it’s about art, which is this intangible thing that has got to have lots of integrity, whereas being famous doesn’t really take any integrity. But I think you have to admit that you want to be famous, otherwise you can’t be an artist. Art and fame together are like a desire to live forever  (Artist Quotes) As an artist, you don’t stop making art because people are not buying it  (Artist Quotes) To be sure an artist wishes to raise his standard intellectually as much as possible, but the man must remain in obscurity. Pleasure must be found in the studying  (Artist Quotes) There is no such thing as an amateur artist as different from a professional artist. There is only good art and bad art  (Artist Quotes) Every artist would like to live in the central organ of creation... Not all are destined to get there... but our beating hearts drive us deep down, right into the pit of creation  (Artist Quotes) The artist is likely to be looked upon with some uneasiness by the more conservative members of society  (Artist Quotes) The natural reaction of the artist will be strongly towards bringing man back into focus as the center of importance  (Artist Quotes) Each artist comes to the painting or sculpture because there he can be told that he, the individual, transcends all classes and flouts all predictions. In the work of art, he finds his uniqueness confirmed  (Artist Quotes) I deny that art can be taught, or, in other words, maintain that art is completely individual, and that the talent of each artist is but the result of his own inspiration and his own study of past tradition  (Artist Quotes) Art or talent, for an artist, is merely a means of applying his personal faculties to the ideas and the things of the period in which he lives  (Artist Quotes) Form is sometimes considered a mere spice added by the artist to the representation of objects in order to make it pleasurable  (Artist Quotes) The principle of parsimony is valid esthetically in that the artist must not go beyond what is needed for his purpose  (Artist Quotes) Being an artist and having to be responsible for the art that you make is really quite challenging, and as you get older it becomes more and more difficult  (Artist Quotes) I had to come to terms with my failure as an artist... I had to find a way for myself  (Artist Quotes) A passion for his art, and an eager desire to excel, will more than supply an artist with the place of method  (Artist Quotes) 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?  (Artist Quotes) It is often we come the closest to the essence of an artist... in his or her pocket notebooks and travel sketchbooks... where written comments and personal notes provide an intimate insight into the magical mind of a working artist  (Artist Quotes) In abandoning the vagueness of the sketch the artist shows more of his personality by revealing the range but also the limitations of his talent  (Artist Quotes) I believe that the making of art is primarily for the benefit of the artist. If what the artist has created communicates messages and feelings to others, then it is because of the universality of the human experience that is speaking through the work of art  (Artist Quotes) There are selections so acute that they come to define a place, with the result that we can no longer travel through that landscape without being reminded of what a great artist noticed there  (Artist Quotes) If you imitate the forms of a single artist through constant practice, your intelligence would have to be crude indeed for you not to get some nourishment from them  (Artist Quotes) The receptivity of the artist must never be confused with passivity. Receptivity is the artist’s holding him or herself alive and open to hear what being may speak  (Artist Quotes) It is necessary for the birthing process to begin to move in its own organic time. It is necessary that the artist have this sense of timing, that he or she respect... periods of receptivity as part of the mystery of creativity and creation  (Artist Quotes)
