Painting Quotes

God comes to us in theater in the way we communicate with each other, whether it be a symphony orchestra, or a wonderful ballet, or a beautiful painting, or a play. It’s a way of expressing our humanity Picture Quote #1

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he’s carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he’s carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you’re drunk Picture Quote #1

The proletarian writer is a writer with a purpose; he thinks no more of art for art’s sake than a man on a sinking ship thinks of painting a beautiful picture in the cabin; he thinks of getting ashore - and then there will be time enough for art Picture Quote #1

My room is dominated by the huge painting, which is a copy of ‘The Violation’ by the Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux. The original was destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, and I commissioned an artist I know, Brigid Marlin, to make a copy from a photograph. I never stop looking at this painting and its mysterious and beautiful women Picture Quote #1

If the world could remain within a frame like a painting on the wall, I think we’d see the beauty then and stand staring in awe Picture Quote #1

A creative act enhances the beauty of the world; it gives something to the world, it never takes anything from it. A creative person comes into the world, enhances the beauty of the world - a song here, a painting there. He makes the world dance better, enjoy better, love better, meditate better Picture Quote #1

We’re painting the same people all our life - it’s just the way we look at them that changes. If you experience trauma, you can speak about it in so many different ways. You can speak about landscape, you can speak about your food; it’s always different. Trauma is the beginning of life as an artist Picture Quote #1

My music is more than me writing a flashy soul song. They’re heartfelt songs about my family and true stories. I have also songs that aren’t personal, but just painting a picture. I don’t like being put under labels, but my music is going to continue to stay classic and timeless forever Picture Quote #1

Every painting I do blends time frames. The great thing about being an artist is I can make the past join the present in some reality of the future Picture Quote #1

Some directors were brilliant in the silent era but never felt at home in sound. It’s like a sculptor being forced to take up painting Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I can do this - painting under observation. It’s the worst thing there is, worse than being in the hospital Picture Quote #1

Oratory is the masterful art. Poetry, painting, music, sculpture, architecture please, thrill, inspire - but oratory rules. The orator dominates those who hear him, convinces their reason, controls their judgment, compels their action. For the time being, he is master Picture Quote #1

But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life’s work Picture Quote #1

The only thing in life that really gives me any peace is just being lost in the process of creating something, whether it’s the film or painting and drawing, which has been a big part of my life, for a long time Picture Quote #1

Painting is the pattern of one’s own nervous system being projected on canvas Picture Quote #1

I’m a big fan of Edouard Vuillard, so I’d like anything by him - particularly a painting called ‘Madame Hessel on the Sofa.’ His work is realistic without being literal: I can really imagine what Madame Hessel is thinking Picture Quote #1

Punk rock and skateboarding took the ‘school’ out of living your life, and I related to learning as I went, doing a lot of different things that I liked, when I liked. Consequently, I’m mediocre at all of the above, but still stoked on being a lifetime student of music, skating, painting, writing, etc Picture Quote #1

I was very interested in being a painter. I had facility, I had talent, and I loved painting and printmaking, and I was quite serious about it Picture Quote #1

In England, there is a dividing line between artists and illustrators, who are thought inferior to painters. Well, that’s absolute rubbish. Some of the most creative work is being done in children’s books. In Japan, everything is art. They don’t say painting is better than ceramics or dress design Picture Quote #1

I had a growing feeling that most of the best art of the world in painting and sculpture had been done, and that this newest form [photography] was more related to the progress and tempo of modern science of the eye Picture Quote #1

What do artists do? Artists give people something they didn’t know they were missing: a dance, a piece of music, a painting, a piece of sculpture. Catering to that need is the best business strategy Picture Quote #1

When they’re looking at my work, they’re looking at a painting and they’re able to accept it better because it is also a quilt Picture Quote #1

I’m a big believer in the emotion of design, and the message that’s sent before somebody begins to read, before they get the rest of the information; what is the emotional response they get to the product, to the story, to the painting - whatever it is 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 don’t see a big difference between painting and photography. Moreover, such distinctions mean nothing to me Picture Quote #1

In the beginning, I started doing portraits of children, and of course, children have large eyes. For some reason, they just started getting bigger and bigger. Then, when I started painting imaginary children rather than real ones, they became bigger still Picture Quote #1

The big picture is that there is no big picture. That’s why we keep painting it Picture Quote #1

I started billboard painting in Minneapolis, and I went to General Outdoor Advertising, and I said, ‘I could do that.’ They said, ‘Oh yeah... we can always use a good man around here.’ Picture Quote #1

It’s a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black Picture Quote #1

It’s odd to see a black person painting his nails in Miami, especially in the hip-hop community Picture Quote #1
