Painters Quotes

Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as salon art. Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith Picture Quote #1

When I’m dead, I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know that painters and writers retired. They’re like soldiers – they just fade away Picture Quote #1

Art critic! Is that a profession? When I think we are stupid enough, we painters, to solicit those people’s compliments and to put ourselves into their hands! What shame! Should we even accept that they talk about our work? Picture Quote #1

I think you too recognize the important relationship between philosophy and art, and it is just this relationship that most painters deny. The great masters do grasp it, unconsciously; but I believe that a painter’s conscious spiritual knowledge will have a much greater influence upon his art, and that it would be due only to a weakness in him, or lack of genius, should this spiritual knowledge be harmful to his art Picture Quote #1

It entered the visual vocabulary of photographers, painters and sculptors and focused on what pictures and words look like and what they can mean Picture Quote #1

I was supporting myself, but nothing like the guy painters, as I refer to them. I always resented that actually.. we were all getting the same amount of press, but they were going gangbusters with sales Picture Quote #1

The ultimate aim of all artistic activity is building!... Architects, sculptors, painters, we must all get back to craft!... The artist is a heightened manifestation of the craftsman... Let us form... a new guild of craftsmen without the class divisions that set out to raise an arrogant barrier between craftsmen and artists!... Let us together create the new building of the future which will be all in one: architecture and sculpture and painting Picture Quote #1

One learns about painting by looking at and imitating other painters. I can’t stress enough how important it is, if you are interested at all in painting, to look and to look a great deal at painting. There is no other way to find out about painting Picture Quote #1

I don’t think that writers or painters or filmmakers function because they have something they particularly want to say. They have something that they feel. And they like the art form; they like words, or the smell of paint, or celluloid and photographic images and working with actors. I don’t think that any genuine artist has ever been oriented by some didactic point of view, even if he thought he was Picture Quote #1

The personal lives of painters are tragic and inevitable and do not explain the artist. For the artist is his work and no longer human Picture Quote #1

There are many people who claim to be good cooks; just as there are many people who, after having repainted the garden gate take themselves to be painters Picture Quote #1

Every good composition is above all a work of abstraction. All good painters know this. But the painter cannot dispense with subjects altogether without his work suffering impoverishment Picture Quote #1

Books are the true means of acquiring talent. If one does not read one remains ignorant, and ignorance can never produce true painters Picture Quote #1

I like to compare my method with that of painters centuries ago, proceeding from layer to layer Picture Quote #1

Traditionally, photography has dealt with recording the world as it is found. Before photography appeared the fine artists of the time, the painters and sculptors, concerned themselves with rendering reality with as much likeness as their skill enabled. Photography, however, made artistic reality much more available, more quickly and on a much broader scale Picture Quote #1

Am I in love? Absolutely. I’m in love with ancient philosophers, foreign painters, classic authors, and musicians who have died long ago. I’m a passionate lover. I fawn over these people. I have given them my heart and my soul. The trouble is, I’m unable to love anyone tangible. I have sacrificed a physical bond, for a metaphysical relationship. I am the ultimate idealistic lover Picture Quote #1

The overscaled compositions being produced by so many abstract painters, which are full of movement and use of color, are ideal example, ideal transformations of an entire wall and entire room... There is no denying that one of the major attractions of these successful large compositions is their structural decorative use in the contemporary scene... That these large canvases can be superbly decorative may not be considered complimentary by some of the artists involved Picture Quote #1

Everyone in my family is an artist. Both my parents are painters and my mom’s an opera singer. I was never shown any other way to process life Picture Quote #1

What a funny thing painting is. The abstract painters always insist on their connection with the visible reality, while the so called figurative artists insist that what they really care about, is the abstract qualities of life Picture Quote #1

Painting doesn’t freeze time. It circulates and recycles time like a wheel that turns. Those who were first might well be last. Painting is a very slow art. It doesn’t travel with the speed of light. That’s why dead painters shine so bright Picture Quote #1

Writers and painters alike are in the business of consulting their own imaginations, and stimulating the imaginations of others. Together, and separately, they celebrate the absolute mystery of otherness Picture Quote #1

Usually when painters use photographs, they enlarge and copy them and simply make a large, boring painting of a large, boring photograph Picture Quote #1

How are we going to make painters by lecturing to them? We are going to make questioners, doubters, and talkers. We are going to make painters by painting ourselves, and by showing the paintings of others. By working frankly from our convictions, we are going to make them work frankly from theirs Picture Quote #1

Philosophy can forsake too easily the details of experience… many writers and painters have demonstrated that thinking long about what art is or ought to be ruins the power to write or paint Picture Quote #1

Painters and poets alike have always had license to dare anything! We know that, and we both claim and allow to others in their turn this indulgence Picture Quote #1

Painters... are the most lively observers of what passes in the world about them, and the closest observers of what passes in their own minds Picture Quote #1

I suppose I envy painters because they can meditate on form and structure, on color and light, and not concern themselves with human torment and chaos. It is restful even to imagine expression without words Picture Quote #1

Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of Picture Quote #1

There ought to be an absolute dictatorship... a dictatorship of painters... a dictatorship of one painter... to suppress all those who have betrayed us Picture Quote #1
