Painting Quotes

Photography is nature seen from the eyes outwards. Painting is nature seen from the eyes inwards Picture Quote #1

Friends often think it must be fun to be a painter... When it’s going well, it’s far more profound than mere fun; when it’s not, it’s not fun at all. In either event, painting is always deeply fulfilling Picture Quote #1

Painting is at once a form of meditation and an utter, complete personal engagement with life Picture Quote #1

I equate inspiration with desire? the desire that moves us to be artists in the first place. To attempt to make a painting without this motivation is a waste of time Picture Quote #1

You want every movie to be a hit. But every painting isn’t a masterpiece Picture Quote #1

With a painting, you’re taking basic building blocks and making something that’s more complex than what you started with. It is a synthetic process. A photograph does the opposite: It takes the world, and puts an order on it, simplifies it Picture Quote #1

A painting can’t be everything. You have to stop, at some point. It has to be finished, if you want anyone to see it. Some people just continue to work on things, forever. I don’t know which is better Picture Quote #1

I love the idea of renaissance. If my career is like painting a canvas, I want to have as many different colors in there as I can Picture Quote #1

I was always interested in language. I thought, why not? If a painting, by the normal definition of the term, is paint on canvas, why can’t it be painted words on canvas? Picture Quote #1

I was very dramatic as a kid. I loved to entertain. I was taking my bathing suits and painting them black and putting sparkles on them because I thought I was going to be on stage Picture Quote #1

Painters work from the ground up. The latest version of a painting overlays earlier versions, and obliterates them. Writers, on the other hand, work from left to right. The discardable chapters are on the left Picture Quote #1

The best way to remember a beautiful city or a beautiful painting is to eat something while you are looking at it. The flavor really helps the image to penetrate the body. It fixes it as lacquer does a drawing Picture Quote #1

Paintings invariably sum up; photographs usually do not. Photographic images are pieces of evidence in an ongoing biography or history. And one photograph, unlike one painting, implies that there will be others Picture Quote #1

Abstraction in photography is ridiculous, and is only an imitation of painting. We stopped imitating painters a hundred years ago, so to imitate them in this day and age is laughable Picture Quote #1

In painting as in prose, a good eye is not enough to tell you whether what you see is real or fake Picture Quote #1

You take a painting, you have a white, virginal piece of canvas that is the world of purity, and then you put your imagery on it, and you try to bring it back to the original purity Picture Quote #1

The most deeply moving element in the contemplation of beauty is the element of loss. We desire to hold; but the sunset melts into the night, and the secret of the painting on the wall can never be the secret of the buyer Picture Quote #1

A novel should be as like life as a painting, but not as like life as a piece of waxwork Picture Quote #1

And no book, and possibly no painting, when it is finished, is ever exactly like the first dream of it Picture Quote #1

Photography is not only drawing with light, though light is the indispensable agent of its being. It is modeling or sculpturing with light, to reproduce the plastic form of natural objects. It is painting with light Picture Quote #1

The biggest part of painting perhaps is faith, and waiting receptively, content to go any way, not planning or forcing. The fear, though, is laziness. It is so easy to drift and finally be tossed up on the beach, derelict Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I could quit paint and take to charring. It must be fine to clean perfectly, to shine and polish and know that it could not be done better. In painting that never occurs Picture Quote #1

We share a huge visual memory bank, mostly through painting and other images in history. I think when a modern photograph taps into those, sometimes very subliminally, it makes people respond Picture Quote #1

Painting is my vehicle of transit. I don’t always know where I am going or what it means Picture Quote #1

I have never expected anything from my work but the satisfaction I could get from it by the very fact of painting and saying what I couldn’t say otherwise Picture Quote #1

Painting, which is essentially a rhythmic harmony of coloured spaces. Realism was the death of art. Great art should come from the harmony of two lines Picture Quote #1

Painting keeps me occupied in those moments when travel can be aimless and even disorienting. Mainly it is a way to register at least some of the new impressions of a foreign place, when its thrilling barrage can sometimes overwhelm you Picture Quote #1

It’s like painting the same blank canvas over and over and over and over and over. Once the concept is known, you don’t need to see two. And that was in the back of my head, that I was really done artistically with what I had created or pastiched Picture Quote #1

The theme, or harmony, of a painting can be created by any one of its visual elements. A single colour... repetition of shapes... Light can be a theme Picture Quote #1

When we look at a painting, listen to a piece of music, read a novel, or watch a movie we are taking in the artist’s composition. The composition is the totality of the work Picture Quote #1
