Painting Quotes

I almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I don’t want to paint the same painting again. I don’t want to make the same sculpture again. Why shouldnt a big movie studio be able to make those small independent kinds of pictures? Why not change it up? Picture Quote #1

Making a movie is, for me, like painting. I just enjoy the care that goes into every brushstroke and the choice of every color. I enjoy the intensity of it Picture Quote #1

Who made art history? Not the most reasonable people. The mad men did. If painting is the mirror of a time, it must be mad to have a true image of what that time is. To one madness we oppose another madness Picture Quote #1

To me, photography is like a quest, or a pilgrimage, or a hunt. I love painting, I love music, but photography is what has allowed me to get outside of myself Picture Quote #1

I think love to another human can’t be wrong in any way. And to show that by painting my nails in rainbow colours, is a simple way to hopefully spread a little joy Picture Quote #1

Everything I do, whether it’s producing or signing an artist, always starts with the songs. When I’m listening, I’m looking for a balance that you could see in anything. Whether it’s a great painting or a building or a sunset 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

Painting is almost like a religious experience, which should go on and on. Age just gives you the freedom to do some things you’ve never done before. Great work can come at any stage of your life Picture Quote #1

Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers Picture Quote #1

There are many schools of painting. Why should there not be many schools of photographic art? There is hardly a right and a wrong in these matters, but there is truth, and that should form the basis of all works of art 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

Painting is a science pursued as an enquiry into the laws of nature... Observation is considered the key to natural science Picture Quote #1

A pair of socks is no less suitable to make a painting with than wood, nails, turpentine, oil and fabric Picture Quote #1

Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential Picture Quote #1

The fact that people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate those basic human emotions.. the people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when painting them. And if you say you are moved only by their color relationships then you miss the point Picture Quote #1

When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who would be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations Picture Quote #1

Pawns not only create the sketch for the whole painting, they are also the soil, the foundation, of any position Picture Quote #1

Try drawing or painting a scene you’re working on. Often this will help free up you imagination Picture Quote #1

For me, filmmaking combines everything. That’s the reason I’ve made cinema my life’s work. In films, painting and literature, theatre and music come together. But a film is still a film Picture Quote #1

Visible things can be invisible. However, our powers of thought grasp both the visible and the invisible – and I make use of painting to render thoughts visible Picture Quote #1

The earth doesn’t care where death occurs... It’s the artist, by coming in and writing about it or painting it or taking a photograph of it, that makes the earth powerful and creates death’s memory. Because the land will not remember by itself, but the artist will Picture Quote #1

I certainly consider a great appreciation of painting to be the best indication of a most perfect mind Picture Quote #1

The reaction was immediate. The blood flow was in proportion to how much the painting was liked Picture Quote #1

The aura given out by a person or object is as much a part of them as their flesh. The effect that they make in space is as bound up with them as might be their colour or smell... Therefore the painter must be as concerned with the air surrounding his subject as with the subject itself. It is through observation and perception of atmosphere that he can register the feeling that he wishes his painting to give out Picture Quote #1

Painting has to get back to its original goal, examining the inner lives of human beings Picture Quote #1

My activities have never had anything to do with the idea of becoming famous or achieving success. I have always been concerned with getting people to listen to me. In everything I do... my aim is to make people listen. I want to communicate the things that I love and in which I believe, because I think that people can derive a general benefit from them. What I really want is success in a philosophical sense: I want people to grasp something of the ideas and hopes which I express in painting Picture Quote #1

The painting rises from the brushstrokes as a poem rises from the words. The meaning comes later Picture Quote #1

Little by little, I’ve reached the stage of using only a small number of forms and colors. It’s not the first time that painting has been done with a very narrow range of colors. The frescoes of the tenth century are painted like this. For me, they are magnificent things Picture Quote #1

A lot of what I do is about being in the moment and I think that’s hard for people to get. I like it when things suddenly affect the painting. I mix up this red and it affects the whole painting or this little bit of white falls down there, and something changes the whole nature of the thing. The residue on what happens, that’s what’s in the paintings Picture Quote #1

When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident Picture Quote #1
