Painting Quotes

We speak of concrete and not abstract painting because nothing is more concrete, more real than a line, a color, a surface Picture Quote #1

If you add something to a painting, never let it be for aesthetic reasons. Only let it be for reasons of expression Picture Quote #1

If I feel a painting I’m working on doesn’t have imagery or emotion, I paint it out and work over it until it does 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 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

I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly Picture Quote #1

There are things that music can do that language could never do, that painting could never do, or sculpture. Music is capable of going directly to the source of the mystery. It doesn’t have to explain it. It can simply celebrate it Picture Quote #1

The flat sound of my wooden clogs on the cobblestones, deep, hollow and powerful, is the note I seek in my painting Picture Quote #1

One of the surest evidences of an elevated taste is the power of enjoying works of impassioned terrorism, in poetry, and painting. The man who can look at impassioned subjects of terror with a feeling of exultation may be certain he has an elevated taste Picture Quote #1

Talk to them about things they don’t know. Try to give them an inferiority complex. If the actress is beautiful, screw her. If she isn’t, present her with a valuable painting she will not understand. If they insist on being boring, kick their asses or twist their noses. And that’s about all there is to it Picture Quote #1

Money itself isn’t lost or made, it’s simply transferred from one perception to another. This painting here. I bought it 10 years ago for 60 thousand dollars. I could sell it today for 600. The illusion has become real and the more real it becomes, the more desperately they want it Picture Quote #1

Style in painting is the same as in writing; a power over materials, whether words or colors, by which conceptions or sentiments are conveyed Picture Quote #1

The first degree of proficiency is, in painting, what grammar is in literature, a general preparation for whatever the student may afterward choose for more particular application. The power of drawing, modeling, and using colors, is very properly called the language of the art Picture Quote #1

I can tell really early on in a painting if I’m going to toss it or not Picture Quote #1

I don’t get my inspiration from books or a painting. I get it from the women I meet Picture Quote #1

A painting probably is the most shocking increase in value, from what it costs to make to what you sell it for Picture Quote #1

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity Picture Quote #1

I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting Picture Quote #1

After my divorce, painting took me out of panic mode and into a serene, calm place. I could absolutely lose myself Picture Quote #1

To his surprise he also discovered that it was possible to be good at what you had little interest in, just as it had been possible to be bad at something, whether painting or poetry, that you cared about a great deal Picture Quote #1

Dancing is surely the most basic and relevant of all forms of expression. Nothing else can so effectively give outward form to an inner experience. Poetry and music exist in time. Painting and architecture are a part of space. But only the dance lives at once in both space and time. In it the creator and the thing created, the artist and the expression, are one. Each participates completely in the other. There could be no better metaphor for an understanding of the mechanics of the cosmos Picture Quote #1

I can’t think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting. Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul Picture Quote #1

Why do we marry, why take friends and lovers? Why give ourselves to music, painting, chemistry or cooking? Out of simple delight in the resident goodness of creation, of course; but out of more than that, too. Half earth’s gorgeousness lies hidden in the glimpsed city it longs to become Picture Quote #1

You’re like a witness. You’re the one who goes to the museum and looks at the paintings. I mean the paintings are there and you’re in the museum too, near and far away at the same time. I’m a painting. Rocamadour is a painting. Etienne is a painting, this room is a painting. You think that you’re in the room but you’re not. You’re looking at the room, you’re not in the room Picture Quote #1

The art has to make it on its own, without explanations, and it’s the same for poetry. If the poem or the painting has to be explained, then it’s a failure in communication Picture Quote #1

What attracted me was less art itself than the artist’s life and all that it meant for me: the idea of creativity and freedom of expression and action. I had been attracted to painting and drawing for a long time, but it was not an irresistible passion; what I wanted, at all costs, was to escape the monotony of life Picture Quote #1

And here in my isolation I can grow stronger. Poetry seems to come of itself, without effort, and I need only let myself dream a little while painting to suggest it Picture Quote #1

The dance is the mother of the arts. Music and poetry exist in time; painting and architecture in space. But the dance lives at once in time and space Picture Quote #1

Basic research is like shooting an arrow in the air and, where it lands, painting a target Picture Quote #1

The real self of an artiste lies in art, so when an artiste performs, all the pain, trauma and tension get released through art, be it dancing, painting, singing, writing or even martial arts Picture Quote #1

When I am halfway there with a painting, it can occasionally be thrilling... But it happens very rarely; usually it’s agony... I go to great pains to mask the agony. But the struggle is there. It’s the invisible enemy Picture Quote #1
