Painting Quotes

I think that in the last twenty years or so, there’s been a new kind of honesty in painting where painters have been very proud of paint and have let it behave openly Picture Quote #1

Painting is always strongest when in spite of composition, color, etc., it appears as a fact, or an inevitability, as opposed to a souvenir or arrangement Picture Quote #1

You can eliminate color and still have a painting that works, but you must have drawing, value and design Picture Quote #1

When I’m painting outdoors, I only have time to think about what I’m saying, not how I’m saying it Picture Quote #1

When we use numbers we are using symbols, and it is only when we transfer them to life that they become actualities. The same is true with drawing and painting. They are to be learned, not as rules, but as actualities. Then the rules become appropriate Picture Quote #1

I want people to know what it is they’re looking at. But at the same time, the closer they get to the painting, it’s like going back into childhood. And it’s like an abstract piece.. it becomes the landscape of the brush marks rather than just sort of an intellectual landscape Picture Quote #1

You have to love writing a song and architecture. You have to give it a form. It is my job to create a sonic landscape. I like to create ambiance and atmosphere. The writing is the intimate part of it. It is a sketch. The production is the whole painting Picture Quote #1

Art is not arbitrary. A fine painting is not there by accident; it is not arrived at by chance. We are sensitive to tonalities Picture Quote #1

There is an aesthetic excitement about painting which is one of the most beautiful experiences that can be. Put things down while you feel that joy Picture Quote #1

Do not let it look as if you reasoned too much. Painting must be impulsive to be worth while Picture Quote #1

Only my current situation has enabled me to accomplish the expensive task of demonstrating that the preferred sustenance of painting is painting Picture Quote #1

A painting works only on the edge of not working. Then what is ungraspable comes near Picture Quote #1

Painting depends on freedom. When you’re feeling completely free, you can create, and this power to create is, in turn, the greatest freedom of all Picture Quote #1

Painting has been a smiling mistress to many, but she has been a cruel jilt to me; I did not abandon her, she abandoned me Picture Quote #1

Do I doubt the painting I’ve just painted because it is not right or because I can never like what I do? Picture Quote #1

My portraits are half what I see and the other half is invented or dictated by the person and the painting Picture Quote #1

Maybe poets express more directly a sense of sympathy for other human beings. Painting is a little bit more of a retreat from human beings in real life; painting is more about the extreme moments when speech doesn’t help anymore Picture Quote #1

In painting, you have to destroy in order to gain... you have got to sacrifice something you are quite pleased with in order to get something better. Of course, it’s a risk Picture Quote #1

People think you can get out your canvas and paint any time you have a free moment. You can’t. Commercial art and painting are entirely different. Painting takes a different mental approach. You have to get the right attitude, the right mood Picture Quote #1

When realistic images or patterns are seen in an abstract painting, they are often parallels brought about by processes in painting which echo processes in nature Picture Quote #1

Start a painting with fresh ideas, and then let the painting replace your ideas with its ideas Picture Quote #1

Experience is real. Painting, which comes out of experience, is real. The world is an illusion Picture Quote #1

When you have made a good painting, don’t do another like it, but remember the process, what you did, what you were thinking and feeling Picture Quote #1

When you are painting a landscape, assume the painting is real and the landscape is an illusion Picture Quote #1

If art depended on content, then one painting of an apple would be as good as the next one Picture Quote #1

I keep plastering it until it comes around to what I want, in terms of all I know and think about painting now, as well as in terms of the initial observation Picture Quote #1

Maybe the given person, cup, or landscape is lost before one gets to painting. A figure exerts a continuing and unspecified influence on a painting as the canvas develops. The represented forms are loaded with psychological feeling. It can’t ever just be painting Picture Quote #1

I trust the symbol that is arrived at in the making of the painting. Meaningful symbols aren’t invented as such, they are made or discovered as symbol later Picture Quote #1

An opening and a receptiveness to design and pattern for its own sake seems to free the painting hand Picture Quote #1

I find that as I get into a painting I have high hopes, then little by little I begin to see that it is not going to be the masterpiece I thought it would be, and I start putting my hopes into the next work Picture Quote #1
