Milton Resnick Quotes

There’s something peculiar about artists. They have ups and downs... After a while everything you do is just wonderful... then you slide back. If you’re a good artist you’re going to go down. And then it’s up to you Picture Quote #1

No one escapes that moment of innocence when the world attacks him and installs within him the spirit of opposites... As long as everything within you is saying yes and no, dark and light, with big earth-shaking ideas, you come nowhere near art, I think. Light and dark don’t exist for us as artists. Light is something given to you and you’re allowing it to pass through Picture Quote #1

I am not a follower of Monet. I am not an admirer or follower of De Kooning. I am not an action painter. I am not an abstract expressionist. I am not younger or older. I will not take my hat off to any other artist living or dead in all the world. I know this Picture Quote #1

Pulling yourself up again is the most important part of your life. Getting out of the bottom that you put everything into - yourself! Picture Quote #1

As long as you can change paint, you don’t change. For you to change - for paint to do something to you - paint must stay constant Picture Quote #1

It was told in the Bible. A man fell. He bit into knowledge and fell... How do you fall without falling completely? What do you bring as knowledge to a blank canvas? How do you begin? Picture Quote #1

I painted myself out of my painting Picture Quote #1

As soon as you see what you’re looking at you have a name for it. You don’t see it. The whole process of your thinking is not to see. You overcome sight by thinking Picture Quote #1

There are people who can’t stand the pain. What happens is they begin to develop some kind of technique to keep out of that hole. Once they do that, they’re finished. They never go any further. They’re done Picture Quote #1

I’d fallen asleep thinking I was much too tired to go on working and if I went on working, I’d lose it. I’d get a better hold of it in the morning; feel stronger. But I looked and looked at it and it seemed to me there was nothing to do Picture Quote #1

Nothing in the world excites the culture today so much as a question. A question seems very appropriate to whatever you have in mind. Allowing your work to remain questionable is a way of satisfying your cultural condition Picture Quote #1

You have to give in to what the paint says... You have to do what it’s telling you to do Picture Quote #1

You always have the memory of the bottom, and fear of the bottom. And when you start going to the bottom you panic Picture Quote #1

As soon as you set yourself up in the position of transferring paint from one place to another, your whole culture invades you. It tells you all about the history of art Picture Quote #1

If there’s no unity in your work, then you’ve deliberately made yourself into that kind of person. You don’t want that unity in your work. You’ve made some kind of satisfactory arrangement with your culture Picture Quote #1
