Painting Quotes

To do a drawing for a painting most often means doing something very sketchy and schematic and then later making it polished Picture Quote #1

I’m just wowed by the universe. I’m just glad to do something I love to do. I love color, I love painting, I love shapes, I love composition, I love the people around me. I’m adoring it all. My legacy is in the hands of other people Picture Quote #1

It’s instinctive in a certain kind of painting... It’s like a nervous system. It’s not described, it’s happening. The feeling is going on with the task. The line is the feeling, from a soft thing, a dreamy thing, to something hard, something arid, something lonely, something ending, something beginning Picture Quote #1

Perfect form is the most important thing to have a perfect body, it’s impossible to make a painting with a big brush Picture Quote #1

If I was painting or writing, I wouldn’t veer away from things because they seemed unsavoury to me. So as an actor, I kind of think the same way. I should do things that are different and interesting and shed light on the craziness of the world Picture Quote #1

Art, a book, a painting, a song, can definitely inspire change, whether it’s a small change or a big change but you know there’s novels I’ve read or a scene in a film that I’ve seen where I definitely inspired something and made a change or addressed an issue in my life or done something cliche like make a phone call Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved painting, although I never show anyone what I’ve done. Mainly because I don’t do it well. But it’s like a form of visual diary for me. A way of fixing things in my mind Picture Quote #1

What a funny thing painting is. The abstract painters always insist on their connection with the visible reality, while the so called figurative artists insist that what they really care about, is the abstract qualities of life Picture Quote #1

No painting can exist without the tension of what it figures and what it concretely consists of. The pleasure of what it could mean and the pain of what it’s not Picture Quote #1

Painting doesn’t freeze time. It circulates and recycles time like a wheel that turns. Those who were first might well be last. Painting is a very slow art. It doesn’t travel with the speed of light. That’s why dead painters shine so bright Picture Quote #1

Painting, like poetry, selects in the universe whatever she deems most appropriate to her ends. She assembles in a single fantastic personage, circumstances and features which nature distributes among many individuals. From this combination, ingeniously composed, results that happy imitation by virtue of which the artist earns the title of inventor and not of servile copyist Picture Quote #1

It’s often about the simple things, isn’t it? Painting and photography are first about seeing, they say. Writing is about observing. Technique is secondary. Sometimes the simple is the most difficult Picture Quote #1

This is an occupation known as painting, which calls for imagination, and skill of hand, in order to discover things not seen, hiding themselves under the shadow of natural objects, and to fix them with the hand, presenting to plain sight what does not actually exist Picture Quote #1

I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it’s very physical Picture Quote #1

The artist should paint not only what he sees before him, but also what he sees within him. If, however, he sees nothing within him, then he should also refrain from painting that which he sees before him. Otherwise, his pictures will be like those folding screens behind which one expects to find only the sick or the dead Picture Quote #1

Painting is a kind of call and response. During the act of painting one is listening, paying attention to a self, a voice simultaneously recognizable and foreign Picture Quote #1

The erasure itself became the action. It seemed to suggest a moment in terms of how sad or pessimistic you can feel in a political environment or a historical situation. But it felt like a really hopeful gesture in the painting Picture Quote #1

The investigation of making is illuminating towards that moment rather than the other way around, a reversal of the way that I would approach making a painting before. I think that it gets to a richer illumination of the moment, which is what I was trying to do at the beginning but going about it a little backwards Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to spell out a story. I still think you feel the painting, and the reason you read the mark is because you also feel the mark Picture Quote #1

Painting a line across canvas with a brush is similar to the motion of a wave breaking Picture Quote #1

If you start painting yourself into a corner, life starts shutting down. There is always hopefully a next Picture Quote #1

A first ascent is a creation in the same sense as is a painting or a song Picture Quote #1

Rock roll is not obscure, it’s really easy to understand. So is my painting Picture Quote #1

I choose color on the spur of the moment. People ask me why I paint in red. I do not have the slightest idea. I was painting in blue, then I had a need to paint in red. To be able to interact with the medium, this is the key. There are no sure ways to do art Picture Quote #1

In every form of art, you really want the experience of the images to transcend the medium, for the medium to disappear into the greater experience of viewing the work. So that you forget you are looking at a painting, or a photograph Picture Quote #1

Ever since I started painting, I have tried to get the fluidity and surprise of image connection, the simultaneity of film montage, into painting Picture Quote #1

Usually when painters use photographs, they enlarge and copy them and simply make a large, boring painting of a large, boring photograph Picture Quote #1

... a canvas that I have covered is worth more than a blank canvas. My pretensions go no further; that is my right to paint, my reason for painting Picture Quote #1

When painting the faces of young persons... use the yolk of the egg of a city hen, because they have lighter yolks than those of country hens Picture Quote #1

Don’t put needless expense into painting a head! Don’t try to match tints! Rose and pearly colours blend into each other so that no one can unite them if painted separately. Keep the impression of your subject as one thing! Picture Quote #1
