Text Quotes
You can’t learn techniques and then try to become a painter. Techniques are a result (Painter Quotes)
I hate repetition, I really do. It’s like asking a painter to paint the same picture every day of his life (Painter Quotes)
A moment of complete happiness never occurs in the creation of a work of art. The promise of it is felt in the act of creation but disappears towards the completion of the work. For it is then the painter realises that it is only a picture he is painting. Until then he had almost dared to hope the picture might spring to life (Painter Quotes)
If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice (Painter Quotes)
My son’s a painter. All through school his teachers tell him he’s a genius. I tell him to paint me an apple that looks like an apple before he paints me one that doesn’t. Go where you can go, but start from someplace recognizable (Painter Quotes)
The painter doesn’t try to reproduce the scene before him... he simplifies and eliminates until he knows exactly what stirred him, sets this down in color and line as simply and as powerfully as possible and so translates his impression into an aesthetic emotion (Painter Quotes)
The camera was waiting for me by predestination and I took to it as a musician takes to the piano or a painter to canvas. I found that I was master of the elements, that I could work miracles (Painter Quotes)
If you look into the past of the successful painter you will find square miles of canvas behind him (Painter Quotes)
I have no wish to be remembered as a painter, for I never was a painter; my idea of that profession was perhaps too exalted; I may say, is too exalted. I leave it to others more worthy to fill the niches of art (Painter Quotes)
Nature or, that which I see, inspires me, puts me, as with any painter, in an emotional state so that an urge comes about to make something, but I want to come as close as possible to the truth and abstract everything from that, until I reach the foundation, still just an external foundation, of things (Painter Quotes)
Philosophers and aestheticians may offer elegant and profound definitions of art and beauty, but for the painter they are all summed up in the phrase: To create a harmony (Painter Quotes)
I suppose what you’re doing as a painter is making a record of your trip through life. I can’t think of any job that is quite as satisfactory as doing a painting (Painter Quotes)
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things (Painter Quotes)
I went to school for fine art. I’m a decent housepainter, but I’m a really good fine art painter (Painter Quotes)
The painter tries to catch the magic of the lights and shadows and passing graces of the human face he paints, but he never wholly succeeds in overtaking the reality (Painter Quotes)
One thing about being a painter is that if you have a dog you are naturally going to spend a lot of time with him or her. It has always amazed me the closeness of that relationship even though a word was never spoken, intellect not any part of it (Painter Quotes)
A piece of drapery is like a necktie, hot stuff to paint, and one of the easiest things for a painter to kid himself into thinking he can do. Don’t be fooled by the color. Go after the shape and character. Hew the forms together with colored tones (Painter Quotes)
A painter knows what to do by the tug of the brush as it pulls through a mixture of oils, and by the look of coloured slurries on the palette (Painter Quotes)
Paint records the most delicate gesture and the most tense. It tells whether the painter sat or stood or crouched in front of the canvas. Paint is a cast made of the painter’s movements, a portrait of the painter’s body and thoughts (Painter Quotes)
The painter must always seek the essence of things, always represent the essential characteristics and emotions of the person he is painting (Painter Quotes)
The average artist, if he chooses, could render an exact drawing of what he sees. Artistic work not only allows but demands some deviation from form and line. Just how far this may go depends on the viewpoint of each painter (Painter Quotes)
I’m an odd portrait painter in that I’m not just interested in human faces. I consider almost all of my paintings to be portraits (Painter Quotes)
It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them (Painter Quotes)
A record... is a statement, it’s its own statement, its own entity, rather than being about something else. If I was a painter... I don’t paint the chair, I would paint feelings about the chair (Painter Quotes)
Le style, pour l’e crivain aussi bien que pour le peintre, est une question non de technique mais de vision. For the writer as well as for the painter, style is not a question of technique, but of vision (Painter Quotes)
In literary art, as in the art of the architect, the painter, the musician, signs that the artist is thinking of his own achievement more than of his subject always offend me (Painter Quotes)
I have always been haunted by the feeling that the painter has much to gain from making use of the forces that tend to work against his action (Painter Quotes)
I wanted to be a painter and an artist. And it’s interesting that in some of my later musical works, I refer so often and associate myself with works of art (Painter Quotes)
The difference between the actor and the painter is that the actor would buy somebody a knish in order to have them watch him act (Painter Quotes)
As if goaded by a kind of frantic despair, I sketched these dirty, ragged little victims of the war with their bruised, lacerated minds and bodies, their matted hair and runny noses. Here my life as a painter began in earnest (Painter Quotes)
