Painter Quotes

To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture Picture Quote #1

A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day Picture Quote #1

I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love. I will give all my soul to prove this once more Picture Quote #1

Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things Picture Quote #1

The effect of sincerity is to give one’s work the character of a protest. The painter, being concerned only with conveying his impression, simply seeks to be himself and no one else Picture Quote #1

I envy the poet. He is encouraged toward drunkenness and wallows with nubile wenches while the painter must endure wretchedness and pain for his art Picture Quote #1

I don’t resent being a female painter. I don’t exploit it. I paint Picture Quote #1

There are two ways for a painter: the broad and easy one or the narrow and hard one Picture Quote #1

Light is the photographic medium par excellence; it is to the photographer what words are to the writer; color and paint to the painter; wood, metal, stone, or clay to the sculptor Picture Quote #1

Once you set out to copy another painter you can never be more than number two Picture Quote #1
