Painter Quotes

You may know a good painter by his habit of work: a good painter works constantly Picture Quote #1

The great artist, whether he be musician, painter, or poet, is known for this absolute unexpectedness Picture Quote #1

As for borrowing Mr. Whistler’s ideas about art, the only thoroughly original ideas I have heard him express have had reference to his own superiority as a painter over painters greater than himself Picture Quote #1

Both poet and painter want to reach the silence behind the language, the silence within the language. Both painter and poet want their work to shine not only in daylight but (by whatever illusionist magic) from within Picture Quote #1

Great is paint; nay, God is the painter; and we rightly accuse the critic who destroys too many illusions. Society does not love its unmaskers Picture Quote #1

If I wrote something just for a musician and not for a soundtrack I would have no inspiration from scenes or from the story. It’s like if a painter sees a beautiful scene and he paints it. If he’s in his home it’s not the same Picture Quote #1

I always think about what’s the difference between being tenacious and having an inability to learn from failures. The difference between the homeless guy who wanted to be a great painter and the guy who is a great painter could be anything Picture Quote #1

Watching my stepfather and mother working in the industry - acting and composing - and seeing firsthand how difficult it is to achieve a successful career in the theater, I thought it might be safer to go to art school with the aim of becoming a painter Picture Quote #1

I would love to have been a painter in the tradition of the surrealist painters who I admire so much Picture Quote #1

I went to college as a theater major. But after about three weeks of that, I changed to the school of fine arts as a painter Picture Quote #1

Painter after painter, since the beginning of the century, has tended toward abstraction. First, the Impressionists simplified the landscape in terms of color, and then the Fauves simplified it again by adding distortion, which, for some reason, is a characteristic of our century Picture Quote #1

I had an amazing instructor, Joseph Gotto , who, as a painter, spoke to me as it - he didn’t condescend Picture Quote #1

The only thing the Pop Artists had in common is that we all had been commercial artists in some manner. Lichtenstein was a draftsman; I was a billboard painter, but we didn’t work together. I didn’t meet Andy Warhol until 1964 Picture Quote #1

My dad’s an artist, and my grandfather paints - he’s not a painter; my grandfather’s a butcher - but he does a lot of crafts, stained glass, painting, that stuff. There is art in our family, and I was an art major in college along with being a theater major Picture Quote #1

Art has been good for my soul. And it’s been good for my brain. I think I’m a better painter now than I was a musician growing up. You struggle to see things and translate an image through your hands to a canvas Picture Quote #1

Michael’s Powell art director was a painter and they had a wonderful friendship and artistic understanding. Michael himself, in the way he designed his own house, it was always with bright colours. Very un-English! Picture Quote #1

I love art, my mother is a painter, I majored in art history at Wellesley, and as I was having my second child I was thinking, what am I going to do, I have to do something to keep myself sane, and I began to ask myself, what are the most horrific circumstances under which art can be created? Picture Quote #1

Art was a way of life in my family. My grandfather, N.C. Wyeth, who died a year before I was born, had been a prominent painter. So was my father, Andrew. My two aunts and two of my uncles also earned a living as painters Picture Quote #1

I was born knowing that I had to be a painter, because my father, an art historian, always presented painting as the only acceptable thing in life Picture Quote #1

I went to art high school and thought I’d be a painter. Unfortunately I didn’t finish high school, but that’s always been part of my work Picture Quote #1

I love art. My sister is an artist and my mother is a painter, so it is very much in the family. I haven’t ever wanted to be a fine artist myself - my sister robbed me of my artistic talent, I think Picture Quote #1

My parents always knew that I loved music. They just didn’t think I’d try to make it a career. They thought I’d be a painter or an art teacher or something like that Picture Quote #1

When I was young, I wanted to be a writer or painter. I was always writing stories, and I excelled at drawing. My teachers encouraged my art work. When I was 9 or 10, I began learning piano and started writing music Picture Quote #1

To be a great painter means to be a great poet: someone who transcends the limits of his language Picture Quote #1

I feel like at the end of the day, as entertaining as movies are, when you’re part of them in a way, it’s this beautiful art form and that’s what it feels like for me. I’m not a painter, but I can express myself visually in a way that allows me to artistically create Picture Quote #1

With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects - the building is there to be used, and times change Picture Quote #1

As a painter you’re responsible yourself, 100 percent. In film, you have the editor, the director, the other actors. It has the advantage of not being solitary Picture Quote #1
