Painting Quotes

I was making big paintings with mythological themes. When I started painting black figures, the white professors were relieved, and the black students were like, ‘She’s on our side.’ These are the kinds of issues that a white male artist just doesn’t have to deal with Picture Quote #1

Every writer has their rituals. For me, it’s morning walks along the beach. And then, in my study I have a huge painting of the Black Madonna hung over my desk, and quite a few pictures of Mary around me for inspiration 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

A really intelligent man makes an indifferent painter. For painting requires a certain blindness, a partial refusal to be aware of all the options Picture Quote #1

Painting bodies with the patterns of Kusama’s hallucinations obliterated their individual selves and returned them to the infinite universe Picture Quote #1

Technically, a makeup artist’s canvas is the face and body. The difference is that my painting of makeup is integrated into the painting of the flesh and not on top of it. I think in some ways it is more difficult to expressively deploy makeup Picture Quote #1

I have always loved contemporary dance, but it has always been a bit of a mystery to me. But choreography is very much like what I do when you are putting characters in frame on the page. It’s so impressive what they do with their bodies. It’s like painting: an abstraction Picture Quote #1

I’m never interested in the painting being a mirror to culture. I think that’s really boring. What I’m interested in is painting as an affective space. The place where the hierarchies of the world can be rearranged within the space of a painting. And they can be articulated in different ways Picture Quote #1

In the West, we look at art through life. Well, that’s one way of living. In the Orient they look at life through art. They even drink their tea without sugar, for the same reason that they don’t like a lot of frilly decorations on a painting. I can’t stand butter on my bread for the same reason. I’m allergic to goo and rococo Picture Quote #1

You must break all the rules of painting, but you must also convince me you’ve had a reason to do so Picture Quote #1

My whole purpose of taking on miniature painting was to break the tradition, to experiment with it, to find new ways of making meaning, to question the relevance of it Picture Quote #1

If you want to paint the inner life, you paint it from the exterior. From the exterior, you breathe the inner life into your painting Picture Quote #1

Anyone can put paint on a canvas, but only a true master can bring the painting to life. Anyone can kill, but only a genius can make murder an art Picture Quote #1

It was very hard breaking into the film industry in Britain. I had been to art school, and I was painting and doing commercials. And I did some of the very first rock videos Picture Quote #1

We feel closer to the drawings on the walls of Chauvet than the painting of, say, an Egyptian mural. These artists are not remote ancestors; they are brothers. They saw like us; they drew like us. We wear essentially the same clothes against the cold Picture Quote #1

My process is really quite organic, and starting a painting is one of the best parts for me. I always start in quite a loose and free way. I often put down one ground colour to begin with and then play off that Picture Quote #1

I have been painting models with black and brown skin only for the past years. So, I did already have this experience, this is how I have come to the paintings I do now Picture Quote #1

Well, I am not interested in the kind of expression that you have when you paint a painting with brush strokes. It’s all right, but it’s already done and I want to do something new Picture Quote #1

Jobs was a strong-willed, elitist artist who didn’t want his creations mutated inauspiciously by unworthy programmers. To him it would be as if someone off the street added some brush strokes to a Picasso painting or changed the lyrics to a Dylan song Picture Quote #1

To me, writing and composing are much more like painting, about colors and brushes; I don’t use a computer when I write, and I don’t use a piano. I’m at a desk writing, and it’s very broad strokes and notes as colors on a palette Picture Quote #1

I’m in deep in everything, every moment of the day. I create the systems and oversee every aspect of the execution. Every mark on a sculpture and every brush-stroke on a painting is in a controlled situation, exactly as they’d be if I’d have done them myself Picture Quote #1

If I’m really working on something, writing or painting or really concentrating, I don’t even think about brushing my hair Picture Quote #1

There isn’t an amount of money you could offer me to do reality TV. I would rather get my job back on the building site. Or I could own a construction business. Maybe I could retire to my house in Long Island and take up painting, like Captain Beefheart. A crazy recluse: I like that idea Picture Quote #1

Creation rather than painting, or if painting, yet such, and with such co-presence of the whole picture flash’d at once upon the eye, as the sun paints in a camera obscura. (Describing his poetic ideal, 1817) Picture Quote #1

What do you see when you look at a representational painting? Most of the time, the first thing I see is a flat piece of canvas covered with colored patterns Picture Quote #1

In abstract painting, I worried about the limited range of possibilities that, as time went on, became increasingly important to me. I wanted to express or deal with differences that an all-over paint and canvas ‘presence’ neutralized Picture Quote #1

A painting doesn’t have to have a real usability other than you looking at it. Obviously, a car, an engine, or battery has to fit people’s needs 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

I was always artistic - right from childhood - but my love of painting came a bit later. It followed my love of music Picture Quote #1

As a child growing up among artists I learned to think of a picture not as a finished product exposed for the admiration of the virtuosi, but as the visible record, lying about the house, of an attempt to solve a definite problem in painting Picture Quote #1
