Painting Quotes

How are we going to make painters by lecturing to them? We are going to make questioners, doubters, and talkers. We are going to make painters by painting ourselves, and by showing the paintings of others. By working frankly from our convictions, we are going to make them work frankly from theirs Picture Quote #1

I don’t buy art. I’d rather buy a beautiful location or a beautiful site than buy art. A beautiful home is like owning a beautiful painting, except you can live in it Picture Quote #1

You’re going to react to a painting in a way that the painting demands you react Picture Quote #1

A painting has a lot of advantages over other forms of communication. Unlike a movie, you don’t have to put it into a machine and turn it on. It’s just there every day. It’s not limited by the element of time. It’s a constant part of the home Picture Quote #1

I would have rebelled against parental authority, no matter what. When I was 15, I started painting my face and making my own clothes Picture Quote #1

Most days, I practice piano in the mornings and I spend the rest of the day painting Picture Quote #1

I had tried painting, mostly to give myself a greater appreciation of the craft and to inform how I looked at paintings. That led to collaging some of the work I had done on paper, and I found myself mixing in found pieces as well Picture Quote #1

I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am Picture Quote #1

If commercialization is putting my art on a shirt so that a kid who can’t afford a $30,000 painting can buy one, then I’m all for it Picture Quote #1

I paint for the sheer joy of painting. I have never sold any of my paintings. I’d rather give them to people for free Picture Quote #1

I do all these various activities like painting and writing, comedy and films probably because not that I’m good at everything but because I’m not good at any of these things Picture Quote #1

Certainly one of the surprising truths of having a book published is realizing that your book is as open to interpretation as an abstract painting. People bring their own beliefs and attitudes to your work, which is thrilling and surprising at the same time Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t interested in going to the school dances. I wasn’t interested in going to the football games. What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff. That’s what I wanted and I got to do what I wanted, so that, to me, is my high school experience Picture Quote #1

I barely knew I wanted to be an artist. I liked my art classes and painting was fun, I guess, but I didn’t realize that seeing the country was going to inspire me to further explore that... but that’s what it did Picture Quote #1

I don’t like getting out when I could be painting. And when I’m painting, I don’t want anybody else around Picture Quote #1

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping Picture Quote #1

For me, acting is about the art of it and it’s about being on a film set and doing your thing, painting a blank canvas Picture Quote #1

I used to split my time between writing, music and painting. I would work on a book and then abandon it, start a band, do an album, quit music, then do a gallery show. Eventually I decided to give writing a serious shot Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a house painter like my father, but I was always screwing up when I went to work with him. I had a talent for knocking over paint and painting myself into corners. I also realized fairly quickly that painting bored me Picture Quote #1

I find I can’t get rid of my trashiness as an artist. A lot of my themes in painting, to the extent that there are intentional themes, are meant to bring that conundrum into high relief Picture Quote #1

When I first started painting candyland imagery, I was looking for the best possible metaphor for everything that is pleasure, desire and insatiability Picture Quote #1

Man is driven to create; I know I really love to create things. And while I’m not good at painting, drawing, or music, I can write software Picture Quote #1

Studying the universe engages us in something bigger than ourselves. Science tries to describe, in terms we can only grasp intuitively, things that are beyond our intuition.... all we can hope for is that our physical descriptions, like a song or a good painting, are a faithful evocation of some ineffable truth Picture Quote #1

I went through about six or seven painting methods just to see what I didn’t want to do. And then I got off the wall, and went into the environment Picture Quote #1

A painting or sculpture not modelled on any real object is every bit as concrete and sensuous as a leaf or a stone... but it is an incomplete art which privileges the intellect to the detriment of the senses Picture Quote #1

Painting is a companion with whom one may walk a great part of life’s journey Picture Quote #1

Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception Picture Quote #1

I become more and more inclined to sink the minister in the man, and abandon my present calling in toto as a profession... to create a living religion in landscape painting Picture Quote #1

I can’t bear to finish things, beyond a certain point they get heavy. There’s something so dead about a finished painting Picture Quote #1

You are never tired of painting, because you have to set down not what you know already, but what you have just discovered Picture Quote #1
