You stand your ground and you perform your art. That’s what the artist does. The artist is about perfection Picture Quote #1

I consider myself an artist, but instead of paint or clay, my medium is drag. I put so much of myself into my drag from every detail of the costume, makeup and hair to my performance, the way I speak or even stand Picture Quote #1

There have been countless changes in the long history of art. The most significant have been brought about by the genius of a single artist Picture Quote #1

The usual relationship between an artist and his painting is like the relationship with the father, or a husband’s with his wife. But mine is a relationship with a stranger... with the chance acquaintance Picture Quote #1

Most art students are generous till it comes to squeezing their colour on the palette... Many pictures haven’t become works of art simply because the artist tried to save a nickel’s worth of colour Picture Quote #1

The subject may be of first importance to the artist when he starts a picture, but it should be of least importance in the finished product. The subject is of no aesthetic significance Picture Quote #1

The purpose of subject matter is to veil technique. The great artist uses the cloak of resemblance to hide the means Picture Quote #1

Meeting and talking to the artist adds a special element to collecting contemporary art that makes the work an irreplaceable treasure rather than just another possession Picture Quote #1

Art is one of the few products that is almost a totally emotional buy. It is a mystery what contributes to a person’s personal taste. However, being educated about the artist and his/her career may influence your decision regarding a purchase Picture Quote #1

Let the artist show his world, the beauty that was born with him, that never was before and never will be again Picture Quote #1

A landscape clean and crisp in form and colour, rich in inspiration is all that an artist could wish for, begging to be used, and full of inherent possibilities Picture Quote #1

Painting is an unspoken and largely unrecognized dialogue, where paint speaks silently in masses and colors and the artist responds in moods Picture Quote #1

In the context of a question regarding what an artist might be, I would want to raise the question of what a theorist might be, to signal how inextricably linked these existences and practices might be Picture Quote #1

I think the popular concept of the artist is a person who has this great passion and enthusiasm and super emotion. He just throws himself into this great masterpiece and collapses from exhaustion when it’s finished. It’s really not that way at all Picture Quote #1

I’m aware of being a stranger, an outsider, and that’s always an advantage for an artist. It means I can see from the inside and the outside. I have that double vision Picture Quote #1

The role of an artist is to awaken the deep life urge that is already in every person Picture Quote #1

When a mother takes pictures of her children on the beach, she doesn’t take herself for an artist; she does it for love, which is an excellent reason, from my point of view Picture Quote #1

Every artist is, first of all, a craftperson thoroughly knowledgeable about the materials, tools, and techniques of his or her particular medium and skilled in using many of them Picture Quote #1

Everything that would begin to make somebody a good student would tend to make him or her a poor artist, and vice versa Picture Quote #1

People generally are more interested in my work when they get to know me. Serious collectors like to get not just a painting but a piece of the artist Picture Quote #1

For me art is a continuous discovery into reality, an exploration of visual data which has been going on for centuries, each artist contributing to the next generation’s advancement. I wanted to go a step further and extend the boundaries Picture Quote #1

When the artist observes nature... it is as if nature communicated, through the sensitivity of the artist at that moment, one of its secrets Picture Quote #1

Departure from the literal aspect, rather than mechanical exactness, is the code of the true artist. However, departures are the result of studied intent rather than inability Picture Quote #1
