Paintings Quotes

I like all paintings. I always look at the paintings, good or bad, in barbershops, furniture stores, provincial hotels. I’m like a drinker who needs wine. As long as it is wine, it doesn’t matter which wine Picture Quote #1

Paintings are too hard. The things I want to show are mechanical. Machines have less problems. I’d like to be a machine, wouldn’t you? Picture Quote #1

I love meeting people who’ve read my books. The prime reason to be on the planet is to make things I can show to other people: paintings, books, movies Picture Quote #1

The need to make music, and to listen to it, is universally expressed by human beings. I cannot imagine, even in our most primitive times, the emergence of talented painters to make cave paintings without there having been, near at hand, equally creative people making song. It is, like speech, a dominant aspect of human biology Picture Quote #1

The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it. Rather, paintings and poetry, music and fashion, design and dialogue, they all define who we are as a people and provide an account of our history for the next generation Picture Quote #1

How vulgar, this hankering after immortality, how vain, how false. Composers are merely scribblers of cave paintings. One writes music because winter is eternal and because, if one didn’t, the wolves and blizzards would be at one’s throat all the sooner Picture Quote #1

The world concerns me only in so far as I have a certain debt and duty to it, because I have lived in it for thirty years and owe to it to leave behind some souvenir in the shape of drawings and paintings – not done to please any particular movement, but within which a genuine human sentiment is expressed Picture Quote #1

If you give a meaning to certain things in my paintings it may be very true, but it is not my idea to give this meaning. What ideas and conclusions you have got I obtained too, but instinctively, unconsciously. I make the painting for the painting. I paint the objects for what they are Picture Quote #1

Even if you have $20,000 to buy an item, you still try to get a good price at antique stores. I collect furniture, rugs, paintings, frames. It’s my hobby to go around to shops and markets Picture Quote #1

You don’t need a uniform color: We used a mixture of brick red, browns and grays, and then threw in seashells, branches and various types of rock, so our walls ended up looking like cave paintings! Picture Quote #1

I decided to become a painter when my first four paintings where all published and attracted a great deal of interest. I exhibited one of them and it was sold Picture Quote #1

Paintings are complex puzzles in the twilight world between abstraction and figuration. I use the medium in a simple, unsophisticated way to express what I don’t see expressed anywhere else Picture Quote #1

I am going to do some drawings or paintings... In the mirror of my wardrobe.. With myself as a figure doing something Picture Quote #1

I cannot help it that my paintings do not sell. The time will come when people will see that they are worth more than the price of the paint Picture Quote #1

Would rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can shew me in the world Picture Quote #1

If my husband ever met a woman on the street who looked like the women in his paintings, he would faint Picture Quote #1

We may build more splendid habitations, fill our rooms with paintings and with sculptures, but we cannot buy with gold the old associations Picture Quote #1

My paintings seem to make the strongest impression on people who are, well, who are crazy Picture Quote #1

I mostly paint animals I’m familiar with, but I did a series of paintings of ravens, so I read everything about them Picture Quote #1

To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perceptions Picture Quote #1

Wherever you look there are inspirations, books, literature, paintings, landscapes, everything. Just living is an inspiration Picture Quote #1

I am inspired by life, past experiences, what’s to come, women around me, art, colors, paintings, and emotions Picture Quote #1

I’ve been attracted to imagery and occasionally I’ve drawn from it, but I never thought I’d be painting these paintings. I didn’t have any desire to. I didn’t think there was any reason to Picture Quote #1

Living with and studying good paintings offers greater interest, variety and satisfaction than any other pleasure known to man Picture Quote #1

There could be a powerful international women’s rights movement if only philanthropists would donate as much to real women as to paintings and sculptures of women Picture Quote #1

In large studio paintings... composition, or arrangement, may be better studied, and nearer perfection, washes may be more suavely graded Picture Quote #1

The great paintings are the ones with the most subtle value relationships. The closer you could bring your values and still distinguish between them, the stronger you were as a painter Picture Quote #1

The small figures that appear in my paintings are there only because they were there when I was working from nature on my preliminary sketches with pencil Picture Quote #1

It is a matter mostly of having the time to spare from my finished paintings to put in on travelling and sketching out of doors Picture Quote #1

I am trying to get my paintings a bit lighter in tone, as some of my recent oils have been mistaken for night scenes Picture Quote #1
