Painting Quotes

Only when you are moved by a painting should you buy it. Being moved is what collecting is all about Picture Quote #1

Every painted image of something is also about the absence of the real thing. All painting is about the presence of absence Picture Quote #1

The first hope of a painter who feels hopeful about painting is the hope that the painting will move, that it will live outside its frame Picture Quote #1

Western artists stand as humans looking at nature; Asian artists try to be in nature. You become one with nature rather than painting a portrait of it. That’s a big shift Picture Quote #1

Acting is ephemeral. It’s not like making a painting that lasts forever. You’re doing something, and the very action which comes and goes, is being demonstrated in front of you. Within that process, you’re trying to go against the grain Picture Quote #1

Painters should shut up and paint and when we stop painting we should dance or have sex or get a massage or take a shower and we shouldn’t be talking about painting Picture Quote #1

From being a young kid I was always drawing and painting, usually stuff like private parts or bloody images but always with a comedy twist to it Picture Quote #1

It’s good when someone comes to a book or a movie and interacts with it. It’s the difference between an illustration and a painting. An illustration serves a specific purpose, and a painting is something you can immerse yourself in Picture Quote #1

A painting of any quality is always going to have nerdy energy, an affirmation behind it. It’s gonna be like a kid playing a video game Picture Quote #1

You have to like everything that you’re painting. Maybe on a narrative level it seems harsh... but I like everything in all my paintings. It’s as if you need to be less intelligent at that level Picture Quote #1

When I paint figures it’s never the idea of painting the beauty of the figure, it is using the figure to get across how I feel Picture Quote #1

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself Picture Quote #1

A man that has a taste of music, painting, or architecture, is like one that has another sense, when compared with such as have no relish of those arts Picture Quote #1

In painting, the most brilliant colors, spread at random and without design, will give far less pleasure than the simplest outline of a figure Picture Quote #1

There is the happiness which comes from creative effort. The joy of dreaming, creating, building, whether in painting a picture, writing an epic, singing a song, composing a symphony, devising new invention, creating a vast industry Picture Quote #1

What a strange vanity painting is; it attracts admiration by resembling the original, we do not admire Picture Quote #1

I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators; the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same Picture Quote #1

When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing Picture Quote #1
