Painting Quotes

Good design, like good painting, cooking, architecture or whatever you like, is a manifestation of the capacity of the human spirit to transcend its limitations Picture Quote #1

Every painting is a war. You have to struggle every day, and to struggle every day with your inadequacies is a damn nuisance Picture Quote #1

You can’t make either life or art, you have to work in the hole in between, which is undefined. That’s what makes the adventure of painting Picture Quote #1

You should keep on painting no matter how difficult it is, because this is all part of experience, and the more experience you have, the better it is... unless it kills you, and then you know you have gone too far Picture Quote #1

What could be said about me... a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well Picture Quote #1

Painting is the only universal language. All nature is creation’s picture book. Painting alone can describe every thing which can be seen, and suggest every emotion which can be felt. Art reaches back into the babyhood of time, and is man’s only lasting monument Picture Quote #1

One has to believe in what one is doing, one has to commit oneself inwardly, in order to do painting. Once obsessed, one ultimately carries it to the point of believing that one might change human beings through painting. But if one lacks this passionate commitment, there is nothing left to do. Then it is best to leave it alone Picture Quote #1

I am out to introduce a psychic shock into my painting, one that is always motivated by pictorial reasoning: that is to say, a fourth dimension Picture Quote #1

I go out each morning and draw. I can’t really start a painting in the morning until I’ve done a drawing Picture Quote #1

Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. There is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you’re trying to make Picture Quote #1

A painting which does not take its inspiration from the heart is nothing more than futile juggling Picture Quote #1

The viewers must come to understand the sacredness of painting, so they will remove their hats as if they were in church Picture Quote #1

I’ve explored a variety of directions and themes over the years. But I think in my painting you can see the signature of one artist, the work of one wrist Picture Quote #1

So many people say painting is fun. I don’t find it fun at all. It’s hard work for me Picture Quote #1

You can’t make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can’t make a perfect painting Picture Quote #1

More important than a work of art itself is what it will sow. Art can die, a painting can disappear. What counts is the seed Picture Quote #1

When spiritual, metaphysical, material, or immaterial events come into my life, I can only fix them by way of painting Picture Quote #1

I’m painting an idea not an ideal. Basically I’m trying to paint a structured painting full of controlled, and therefore potent, emotion Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

When you start a painting, it is somewhat outside you. At the conclusion, you seem to move inside the painting Picture Quote #1

Not even pencil or charcoal is needed. Drawing can also be done with a brush. But drawing is a must, if not, no painting can resist Picture Quote #1

Then very slowly I go to slightly lighter colors until little by little, the forms begin to take shape and I start to see what is happening. Since I never plan in advance, I simply let myself be led by instinct, taste and intuition. And it is in this manner that I find myself creating visions that I have never before imagined. And little by little certain color effects develop that excite me and I find the painting itself leading me on and I become only an instrument of a greater, wiser force... or being... or intelligence than I myself am Picture Quote #1

Only now I’m learning to enjoy not being in charge of what the next stroke will do to the whole painting. I’m still learning that there are no mistakes, only discoveries Picture Quote #1

Each painting has its own way of evolving. When the painting is finished, the subject reveals itself Picture Quote #1

Painting, like music, has nothing to do with the reproduction of nature, nor interpretation of intellectual meanings. Whoever is able to feel the beauty of colors and forms has understood nonobjective painting Picture Quote #1

I’ve done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don’t want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism; that’s enough Picture Quote #1

Music is like painting in sound. You take it into your inner heart and never lose it. It’s eternally mysterious Picture Quote #1

You must break all the rules of painting, but you must also convince me you’ve had a reason to do so Picture Quote #1

People who wouldn’t think of taking a sieve to the well to draw water fail to see the folly in taking a camera to make a painting Picture Quote #1

It’s not a matter of painting life, it’s a matter of giving life to painting Picture Quote #1

It’s like a puzzle or a painting or music. When I ski, it’s like a song. I can hear the rhythm in my head, and when I start to ski that rhythm and I start to really link my turns together, all of a sudden there’s so much flow and power that I just can’t help but feel amazing. That’s where the joy comes from Picture Quote #1
