Painting Quotes

Most of the power of painting comes through the manipulation of space... but I don’t understand that Picture Quote #1

We have as many planes of speech as does a painting planes of perspective which create perspective in a phrase. The most important word stands out most vividly defined in the very foreground of the sound plane. Less important words create a series of deeper planes Picture Quote #1

The painting develops before my eyes, unfolding its surprises as it progresses. It is this which gives me the sense of complete liberty, and for this reason I am incapable of forming a plan or making a sketch beforehand Picture Quote #1

Painting, like passion, is a living voice, which, when I hear it, I must let it speak, unfettered Picture Quote #1

I started painting as a hobby when I was little. I didn’t know I had any talent. I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do Picture Quote #1

Within one hour of touching the brush to canvas for the first time, my students have a total, complete painting Picture Quote #1

You care enough, that you want your life to be fulfilled in a living way, not in a painting way, not in a writing way... you really do want it to be involving in living, corresponding with other living objects, moving, changing, that kind of thing Picture Quote #1

Music is a means capable of expressing dark dramatism and pure rapture, suffering and ecstasy, fiery and cold fury, melancholy and wild merriment – and the subtlest nuances and interplay of these feelings which words are powerless to express and which are unattainable in painting and sculpture Picture Quote #1

We look at the mountain to see the painting, then we look at the painting to see the mountain Picture Quote #1

A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it Picture Quote #1

I’m working on a snow scene right now, and it’s summer. It’s hot, and I will get chilly. I’ll have to turn on the heat. My wife walks in, and it’s 95 degrees in the studio. I know it’s nutty, but it’s a projection you have where you step into the painting Picture Quote #1

Painting... in which the inner and the outer man are inseparable, transcends technique, transcends subject and moves into the realm of the inevitable Picture Quote #1

This truth must be recognized as a dogma and assume the validity of an axiom in the general understanding of painting Picture Quote #1

I kind of do the drawing with the painting in mind, but it’s very hard to guess at a size or a color and all the colors around it and what it will really look like Picture Quote #1

Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. You forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don’t look at it as if it were some kind of oddity Picture Quote #1

Painting is the aesthetic side of the object but it has never been original, has never been its own goal Picture Quote #1

The crucial discovery was made that, in order to become painting, the universe seen by the artist had to become a private one created by himself Picture Quote #1

I don’t have much of a problem with interruptions. I keep a detailed record of paint and materials as a work on each painting. I can restart exactly where I left off Picture Quote #1

I believe that painting should come through the avenues of meditation rather than the canals of action Picture Quote #1

When I get my hands on painting materials I don’t give a damn about other people’s painting... every generation must start again afresh Picture Quote #1

In the fairy tale the painting represents the here and now. The book is actually divided into five sections, through which the key character, the muse, leads us Picture Quote #1

The dog, the rabbit and the hoop all feature in the painting, and take the place of the orrery Picture Quote #1

I do believe it is possible to create, even without ever writing a word or painting a picture, by simply molding one’s inner life. And that too is a deed Picture Quote #1

Surely nothing has to listen to so many stupid remarks as a painting in a museum Picture Quote #1

If history were a photograph of the past it would be flat and uninspiring. Happily, it is a painting; and, like all works of art, it fails of the highest truth unless imagination and ideas are mixed with the paints Picture Quote #1

I dream a lot. I do more painting when I’m not painting. It’s in the subconscious Picture Quote #1

And I like the idea of change. Because I don’t see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it’s there like a piece of furniture Picture Quote #1

If a symbol should be discovered in a painting of mine, it was not my intention. It is a result I did not seek. It is something that may be found afterwards, and which can be interpreted according to taste Picture Quote #1

Painting is a science, and should be pursued as an inquiry into the laws of nature. Why, then, may not landscape painting be considered as a branch of natural philosophy, of which pictures are but the experiments? Picture Quote #1

People call me the painter of dancing girls. It has never occurred to them that my chief interest in dancers lies in rendering movement and painting pretty clothes Picture Quote #1
