Each brushstroke is a decision (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
It’s not that the creative act and the critical act are simultaneous. It’s more like you blurt something out and then analyze it. (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
The abstractness of modern art has to do with how much an enlightened mind rejects of the contemporary social order. (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
Painting that does not radiate feeling is not worth looking at. The deepest-and rarest-of grown-up pleasures is true feeling (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
Abstract art is uniquely modern. It is a fundamentally romantic response to modern life - rebellious, individualistic, unconventional, sensitive, irritable (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
Most painting in the European tradition was painting the mask. Modern art rejected all that. Our subject matter was the person behind the mask (Robert Motherwell Quotes)

Any incentive to paint is as good as any other. There is no poor subject (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
In a way, painting is like wine: it is as old, as simple, as primitive and as varied. Like wine, it is a very specific means of expression, with a limited vocabulary, but vast in its expressive potential (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
It’s possible to paint a monumental picture that’s only 10 inches wide, if one has a sense of scale, which is very different from a sense of size (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
Sometimes images may emerge from some chord in my subconscious, the way a dream might. Even in those paintings where an image unconsciously develops, a certain kind of experience is usually necessary in order to perceive it (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
I started with straight, basic, symbolic structures. My problem now is the opposite; as I get older, I try to make my paintings more contrapuntal, richer (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
One’s art is just one’s effort to wed oneself to the universe, to unify oneself through union (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
For a hundred years, modern painters, stubbornly and in the face of incessant hostility, have moved, step by step, leaving superb monuments by the wayside, towards an art of arrangement whose expressiveness depends less and less upon its elements imitating the objects of the external world (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
It is the medium, or the specific configuration of the medium, that we call a work of art that brings feeling into being (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
In the end I realize that whatever meaning that picture has is the accumulated meaning of ten thousand brushstrokes, each one being decided as it was painted (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
Painting is a medium in which the mind can actualize itself; it is a medium of thought. Thus painting, like music, tends to become its own content (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
It’s not that the creative act and the critical act are simultaneous. It’s more like you blurt something out and then analyze it (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
The public’s appetite for famous people is a mouth as big as a mountain (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
A main part of the struggle of art has been to make an art that is direct, simple, humane, unconnected with powers that be in their essence... To the degree that it is connected with the bourgeoisie via the marketplace and so on is not necessarily an artist’s problem (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
For me, the sketchbooks are more like a secret and wholly spontaneous jeu d’esprit and some of them I like as much as anything I have ever done. They are invariably without premeditation. I mean not only that I have no plan when I make them, I also have no plan to make them (Robert Motherwell Quotes)
