The successful painter is continually painting still life Picture Quote #1

Time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life Picture Quote #1

For me, a few hours ago, this campaign came to an end. For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die Picture Quote #1

Life does not stand still. Where there is no progress, there is disintegration Picture Quote #1

Still, life had a way of adding day to day Picture Quote #1

The microscopes that magnified the tears, studied warts and all. Still life flows on Picture Quote #1

What interests me most is neither still life nor landscape: it is the human figure Picture Quote #1

When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body Picture Quote #1

Every artist undresses his subject, whether human or still life. It is his business to find essences in surfaces, and what more attractive and challenging surface than the skin around a soul? Picture Quote #1

I was primarily interested in people, and people in action, so that I did nothing photographically in the sense of doing buildings for their own sake or a still life or anything like that Picture Quote #1

Nudes are the greatest to paint. Everything you can find in a landscape or a still life or anything else is there: darkness and light, character dimension, texture. I painted heads too, of course Picture Quote #1

I am essentially a painter of the kind of still life composition that communicates a sense of tranquillity and privacy, moods which I have always valued above all else Picture Quote #1

Photography in our time leaves us with a grave responsibility. While we are playing in our studios with broken flowerpots, oranges, nude studies and still lifes, one day we know that we will be brought to account: life is passing before our eyes without our ever having seen a thing Picture Quote #1

My paintings are loosely based on meta narratives. The pictures float in and out of pictorial genres. Still life’s become personified, portraits become events, and landscapes become constructions. I embrace the area between which the subject is composed and decomposing, formed and formless, inanimate and alive Picture Quote #1

I’m a filmmaker. I’m an artist. I’ve chosen to work in history the way someone might choose to work in still lifes or landscapes Picture Quote #1

What difference does it make whether you’re looking at a photograph or looking at a still life in front of you? You still have to look Picture Quote #1

Landscape, that vast still life, invites description, not narration. It is lyric. It has no story: it is the beloved, and asks only to be contemplated Picture Quote #1

Fantasy allows you bend the world and the situation to more clearly focus on the moral aspects of what’s happening. In fantasy you can distill life down to the essence of your story Picture Quote #1

Life is still life, whatever its pangs; our eyes and ears and their use remain with us, though the prospect of what pleases be wholly withdrawn, and the sound of what consoles must be silenced Picture Quote #1

Life is still life. It’s still tough, complicated, and more than a little messy, with lessons to be learned, mistakes to be made, triumphs and disappointments to be had, and not every day is meant to be a party Picture Quote #1

The ability to portray people in still life and in motion requires the highest measure of intuition and talent Picture Quote #1

For a long time I wanted to draw, but I could never get the proportions right. My still life sketches were the artistic equivalent of someone who has misjudged the space constraints of a postcard, the handwriting shrinking uncomfortably at the bottom Picture Quote #1

There are particular images that I like. Allegro is composed of a series of still life photographs that has been put to speed. There is so much care that has gone into the composition of the cinematography Picture Quote #1

All still lifes are actually paintings of the world on the sixth day of creation, when God and the world were alone together, without man Picture Quote #1

Years ago - in the 70s, for about a decade - I carried a camera every place I went. And I shot a lot of pictures that were still life and landscape, using available ligh Picture Quote #1

It was in the 1920s, when nobody had time to reflect, that I saw a still-life painting with a flower that was perfectly exquisite, but so small you really could not appreciate it Picture Quote #1
