Painters Quotes

Abstraction in photography is ridiculous, and is only an imitation of painting. We stopped imitating painters a hundred years ago, so to imitate them in this day and age is laughable Picture Quote #1

Most artists, most painters, even composers would want to come back and redo their work. They’ve got a new perspective on it, they’ve got more resources, they have better technology, and they can fix or finish the things that were never done Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My faith is that I don’t believe in fate! We are not puppets or zombies of destiny. We are the main painters of our life’s canvas Picture Quote #1

In actuality, we don’t look for smiles in pictures of bliss, but rather, for the happiness in life itself. Painters know this, but this is preciously what they cannot depict. That’s why they substitute the joy of seeing for the joy of life Picture Quote #1

Painters should shut up and paint and when we stop painting we should dance or have sex or get a massage or take a shower and we shouldn’t be talking about painting Picture Quote #1

A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I’m every inch a painter Picture Quote #1

Poets, not otherwise than philosophers, painters, sculptors, and musicians, are, in one sense, the creators, and, in another, the creations, of their age Picture Quote #1

More significant than the fact that poets write abstrusely, painters paint abstractly, and composers compose unintelligible music is that people should admire what they cannot understand; indeed, admire that which has no meaning or principle Picture Quote #1

A lot of painters listen to music, I think, while they paint. But I hate to do that. It’s a horror. I can’t really listen to the music. I’m not really concentrating on it, and I’m not really concentrating on the painting Picture Quote #1

I have tons of regrets, but I think that’s one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers Picture Quote #1

You have understood what all great painters understand: in order to forget the rules, you must know them and respect them Picture Quote #1

When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem Picture Quote #1

The house was as empty as a beer closet in premises where painters have been at work Picture Quote #1

For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him Picture Quote #1

Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day Picture Quote #1

We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bone Picture Quote #1

And so when studying faces, we do indeed measure them, but as painters, not as surveyors Picture Quote #1

Art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians; it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality Picture Quote #1

I cannot judge my work while I am doing it. I have to do as painters do, stand back and view it from a distance, but not too great a distance. How great? Guess Picture Quote #1

When younger writers and poets, musicians and painters are weakened by a stemming of funds, they come to me saddened, not as full of dreams and excitement and ideas. I am then weakened and diminished, and made less rich Picture Quote #1

The need to make music, and to listen to it, is universally expressed by human beings. I cannot imagine, even in our most primitive times, the emergence of talented painters to make cave paintings without there having been, near at hand, equally creative people making song. It is, like speech, a dominant aspect of human biology Picture Quote #1

Comedians and jazz musicians have been more comforting and enlightening to me than preachers or politicians or philosophers or poets or painters or novelists of my time. Historians in the future, in my opinion, will congratulate us on very little other than our clowning and our jazz Picture Quote #1

Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the God he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man’s features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to make a distinction between the writer and the painter, finally, because I do both things anyway. Everybody’s dreaming and trying to put down their dreams in the way that their hand knows best. I feel as much a unity, as much comradeship, with painters as I do writers Picture Quote #1

Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed Picture Quote #1

Sometimes small incidents, rather than glorious exploits, give us the best evidence of character. So, as portrait painters are more exact in doing the face, where the character is revealed, than the rest of the body, I must be allowed to give my more particular attention to the marks of the souls of men Picture Quote #1

When everything is added up, the frequent blows weighted against the sporadic triumphs, this is I have to say not just a vocation, it’s a great gift. But you also know this, for your work, for your passion, every day is a rededication. Painters, dancers, actors, writers, filmmakers. It’s the same for all of you, all of us. Every step is a first step. Every brush stroke is a test. Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. So, let the learning continue Picture Quote #1

Everyone in my family is an artist in some capacity whether they’re musicians, painters, or sculptors, so it’s in their blood Picture Quote #1

5. It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted Picture Quote #1
