Robert Motherwell Quotes

In the brush doing what it is doing, it will stumble on what one could not do by oneself Picture Quote #1

One of the most striking of abstract art’s appearances is her nakedness, an art stripped bare Picture Quote #1

Every intelligent painter carries the whole culture of modern painting in his head. It is his real subject, of which everything he paints in both an homage and a critique, and everything he says is a gloss Picture Quote #1

The problems of inventing a new language are staggering. But what else can one do if one needs to express one’s feeling precisely? Picture Quote #1

In printmaking, I essentially use the same process as in painting with one important exception... to try, with sensitivity to the medium to emphasize what printing can do best... better than say, painting or collaging or watercolour or drawing or whatever... Otherwise, the artist expresses the same vision in graphics that he does in his other work Picture Quote #1

To end up with a canvas that is no less beautiful than the empty canvas is to begin with Picture Quote #1

For a painter as abstract as myself, the collages offer a way of incorporating bits of the everyday world into pictures Picture Quote #1

What could be more interesting, or in the end, more ecstatic, than in those rare moments when you see another person look at something you’ve made, and realize that they got it exactly, that your heart jumped to their heart with nothing in between Picture Quote #1

I dislike a picture that is too suave or too skilfully done. But, contrariwise, I also dislike a picture that looks too inept or blundering Picture Quote #1

It is sometimes forgotten how much wit there is in certain works of abstract art. There is a certain point in undergoing anguish when one encounters the comic Picture Quote #1

I almost never start with an image. I start with a painting idea, an impulse, usually derived from my own world Picture Quote #1
