Painted Quotes

I wanted to wear the mantle and the pearls. I wanted to know the man who painted her like that Picture Quote #1

They were all brilliant. They wrote books and painted pictures, and if they ever stopped talking, which I was sure they would never do, they planned to change the world Picture Quote #1

Cruelty to animals is one of the most significant vices of a low and ignoble people. Wherever one notices them, they constitute a sign of ignorance and brutality which cannot be painted over even by all the evidence of wealth and luxury Picture Quote #1

The people that weep before my paintings are having the same religious experience that I had when I painted it Picture Quote #1

I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked Picture Quote #1

I painted with acrylic paint, and the reason why I went to oil was mainly because I didn’t control it. I was looking for the insecurity of it. I mean, I might have found another reason later, but at that moment, the reason was I was looking for the insecurity Picture Quote #1

As a picture painted in yellow always radiates spiritual warmth, or as one in blue has apparently a cooling effect, so green is only boring Picture Quote #1

The painter is not an intellectual if, when he has painted a nude woman, he gives us the idea that she is just about to put her clothes back on Picture Quote #1

Little by little, I’ve reached the stage of using only a small number of forms and colors. It’s not the first time that painting has been done with a very narrow range of colors. The frescoes of the tenth century are painted like this. For me, they are magnificent things Picture Quote #1

I was walking along a road one evening – on one side lay the city, and below me was the fjord. The sun went down – the clouds were stained red, as if with blood. I felt as though the whole of nature was screaming – it seemed as though I could hear a scream. I painted that picture, painting the clouds like real blood. The colours screamed Picture Quote #1

Sargent, when he painted the size of life, placed his canvas on a level with the model, walked back until canvas and sitter were equal before his eye, and was thus able to estimate the construction and values of his representation Picture Quote #1

I have often, as an exercise and as a sustenance, painted before an object down to the smallest accidents of its visual appearance; but the day left me sad and with an unsatiated thirst. The next day I let the other source run, that of imagination, through the recollection of the forms and I was then reassured and appeased Picture Quote #1

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

Why must art be static? You look at an abstraction, sculptured or painted, an entirely exciting arrangement of planes, spheres, nuclei, entirely without meaning. It would be perfect but it is always still. The next step in sculpture is motion Picture Quote #1

All works, no matter what or by whom painted, are nothing but bagatelles and childish trifles... unless they are made and painted from life, and there can be nothing... better than to follow nature Picture Quote #1

The only merit I have is to have painted directly from nature with the aim of conveying my impressions in front of the most fugitive effects Picture Quote #1

My paintings are about light, about the way things look in their environment and especially about how things look painted. Form, colour and space are at the whim of reality, their discovery and organization is the assignment of the realist painter Picture Quote #1

The art and architecture of the past that we know is that which remains. The best is that which remains where it was painted, placed or built. Most of the art of the past that could be moved was taken by conquerors. Almost all recent art is conquered as soon as it’s made, since it’s first shown for sale and once sold is exhibited as foreign in the alien museums. The public has no idea of art other than that it is something portable that can be bought. There is no constructive effort; there is no cooperative effort. This situation is primitive in relation to a few earlier and better times Picture Quote #1

By reason of his elegance, he resembles an image painted in a palace, though he is as majestic as the palace itself Picture Quote #1

A bird painted not with beauty but with all the dirt and wounds collected in a long hard life, in battle, in love, with torn feathers and a busted leg and a chipped beak and one of its eyes half closed; and yet a bird of deeper loveliness for all of that Picture Quote #1

When I first made a grid I happened to be thinking of the innocence of trees and then this grid came into my mind and I thought it represented innocence, and I still do, and so I painted it and then I was satisfied. I thought, this is my vision Picture Quote #1

I could not paint at all if I had to paint slowly. Every effect is so transient, it must be rapidly painted Picture Quote #1

I am moved, shaken, and when it is all over, I look at wonder at what is written or painted Picture Quote #1

I had the landscape in my arms as I painted it. I had the landscape in my mind and shoulder and wrist Picture Quote #1

I’m known as a light artist. But rather than be someone who depicted light, or painted light in some way, I wanted to have the work be light Picture Quote #1

Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of Picture Quote #1

Japanese moe relationships socially dysfunctional men develop deep attachments to body pillows with women painted on them Picture Quote #1

When we drink coffee, our tongue gets painted. As long as it stays painted, it remains tasty! Picture Quote #1

My father was an artist. When life was harder and he couldn’t get jobs, he painted houses, but he was artistic. When I went to see his work, it was special. Somewhere along the line, I felt I was special. I didn’t know why Picture Quote #1

Don’t put needless expense into painting a head! Don’t try to match tints! Rose and pearly colours blend into each other so that no one can unite them if painted separately. Keep the impression of your subject as one thing! Picture Quote #1
