Georg Baselitz Quotes

You cannot deny your origins: I love Kirchner more than Matisse, although Matisse was a greater artist. That isn’t to do with nationality. It’s a stronger feeling Picture Quote #1

I paint German artists whom I admire. I paint their pictures, their work as painters, and their portraits too. But oddly enough, each of these portraits ends up as a picture of a woman with blonde hair. I myself have never been able to work out why this happens Picture Quote #1

I don’t like things that can be reproduced. Wood isn’t important in itself but rather in the fact that objects made in it are unique, simple, unpretentious Picture Quote #1

I had always loved expressionist painting, like every European. In fact I admired it all the more because these were precisely the paintings despised by my father’s generation Picture Quote #1

I always feel attacked when I’m asked about my painting Picture Quote #1

I hang my work upside down to emphasize surface Picture Quote #1

You dig in and you find something Picture Quote #1

The reality is the picture, it is most certainly not in the picture Picture Quote #1

I love my old paintings as postulates as fresh starting points but I have to destroy them. I have to make a new manifesto Picture Quote #1

An object painted upside down is suitable for painting because it is unsuitable as an object Picture Quote #1

The idea of changing or improving the world is alien to me and seems ludicrous. Society functions, and always has, without the artist. No artist has ever changed anything for better or worse Picture Quote #1

There is no communication with any public whatsoever. The artist can ask no question, and he makes no statement; he offers no information, and his work cannot be used. It is the end product which counts Picture Quote #1

I begin with an idea, but as I work, the picture takes over. Then there is the struggle between the idea I preconceived... and the picture that fights for its own life Picture Quote #1

What counts most is finding new ways to get the world down in paint on my own terms Picture Quote #1

Unlike the expressionists, I have never been interested in renewing the world through the vehicle of art Picture Quote #1

I always work out of uncertainty but when a painting’s finished it becomes a fixed idea, apparently a final statement. In time though, uncertainty returns.. your thought process goes on Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
