Text Quotes
The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art (Painter Quotes)
Anybody who perceives colors can become a painter. It’s simply a question of whether or not one has felt anything and whether one has the courage to recount the things one has felt (Painter Quotes)
The painter must be solitary. For if you are alone you are completely yourself, but if you are accompanied by a single companion, you are only half yourself (Painter Quotes)
A painter was asked why, since he made such beautiful figures, which were but dead things, his children were so ugly; to which the painter replied that he made his pictures by day, and his children by night (Painter Quotes)
It reflects no great honour on a painter to be able to execute one thing well (Painter Quotes)
O painter, take care lest the greed for gain prove a stronger incentive than renown in art, for to gain this renown is a far greater thing than is the renown of riches (Painter Quotes)
The mind of a painter should be like a mirror which is filled with as many images as there are things placed before him (Painter Quotes)
Although the poet has as wide a choice of subjects as the painter, his creations fail to afford as much satisfaction to mankind as do paintings... if the poet serves the understanding by way of the ear, the painter does so by the eye, which is the nobler sense (Painter Quotes)
Composition is the art of arranging in a decorative manner the various elements which the painter uses to express his sentiments. In a picture every separate part will be visible and... everything which has no utility in the picture is for that reason harmful (Painter Quotes)
What’s so astonishing about not understanding? There are so many things in art, beginning with art itself, that one doesn’t understand. A painter doesn’t see everything that he has put in his painting (Painter Quotes)
Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures (Painter Quotes)
Just dash something down if you see a blank canvas staring at you with a certain imbecility. You do not know how paralyzing it is, that staring of a blank canvas which says to the painter: you don’t know anything (Painter Quotes)
I was aware that on my skill as a painter would depend the physical and moral possession of the model (Painter Quotes)
Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form (Painter Quotes)
By the single example of this painter devoted to his art with such independence, my destiny as a painter opened out to me (Painter Quotes)
As paradoxical as it may seem a great sculptor is as much a colourist as the best painter, or rather the best engraver. He plays so skillfully with all the resources of relief, he blends so well the boldness of light with the modesty of shadow, that his sculptures please one, as much as the most charming etchings (Painter Quotes)
For a painter as abstract as myself, the collages offer a way of incorporating bits of the everyday world into pictures (Painter Quotes)
Those who perceive in themselves... the artistic vocation as poet, writer, sculptor, painter, musician, and actor feel at the same time an obligation not to waste this talent but to develop it, in order to put it to service of their neighbour and the humanity as a whole (Painter Quotes)
Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine (Painter Quotes)
The transposition that a painter makes with an original vision gives to the representation of nature a new interest (Painter Quotes)
It is an intimately communicative affair between the painter and his painting, a conversation back and forth, the painting telling the painter even as it receives its shape and form (Painter Quotes)
The moving toward one’s inner self is a long pilgrimage for a painter. It offers many temporary successes and high points, but impels him on toward the more adequate image (Painter Quotes)
If deceiving the eye were the only business of the art... the minute painter would be more apt to succeed. But it is not the eye, it is the mind which the painter of genius desires to address (Painter Quotes)
From a slight, undetermined drawing, where the ideas of the composition and character are just touched upon, the imagination supplies more than the painter himself, probably, could produce. And we accordingly often find that the finished work disappoints the expectation that was raised from the sketch (Painter Quotes)
The painter of genius will not waste a moment upon those smaller objects which only serve to catch the sense, to divide the attention, and to counteract his great design of speaking to the heart (Painter Quotes)
A painter must compensate the natural deficiencies of his art. He has but one sentence to utter, but one moment to exhibit. He cannot, like the poet or historian, expatiate, and impress the mind (Painter Quotes)
Though colour may appear at first a part of painting merely mechanical, yet it still has its rules, and those grounded upon that presiding principle which regulates both the great and the little in the study of a painter (Painter Quotes)
The living model never answers well the idea or impressions the painter wishes to express; one must, therefore, learn to do without one, and for that, you must acquire facility, furnish one’s memory to the point of infinitude, and make numerous drawings after the old masters (Painter Quotes)
Listen: if I am a painter and I do your portrait, have I or haven’t I the right to paint you as I want? (Painter Quotes)
The artist does not exist except as a personification, a figure of speech that represents the sum total of art itself. It is painting that is the genius of the painter, poetry of the poet, and a person is a creative artist to the extent that he participates in that genius (Painter Quotes)
