Vas Quotes

I’m not videotaping my life, but in a way I am trying to put certain things about myself on canvas Picture Quote #1

People often overestimate what they can reasonably achieve in a year. But they vastly underestimate what they can achieve in 5 years Picture Quote #1

Do not imagine that I would disregard that thing that lies beneath the mask... but be sure that when the outside is rightly seen, the thing that lies under the surface will be found upon your canvas Picture Quote #1

That’s what I mean by something grips in a canvas. The moment that happens you are then sucked into the whole thing. Like some kind of rhythm Picture Quote #1

The canvas is a court where the artist is prosecutor, defendant, jury and judge. Art without a trial disappears at a glance Picture Quote #1

I feel more as if I’m shaping something with my hands. I feel as if I’ve always wanted to get to that state. Like a blind man in a dark room had some clay, what would he make? I end up with 2 or 3 forms on a canvas, but it gets very physical for me Picture Quote #1

The reason for my painting large canvases is that I want to be intimate and human. To paint a small picture is to place yourself outside your experience, to look upon an experience as a stereopticon view or with a reducing glass. However you paint the larger picture, you are in it. It isn’t something you command Picture Quote #1

Throw away those little pieces of paper. Get yourself a big, beautiful canvas. Bring from this nature the most beautiful colors. Find the serene scene within. Find the joy in each corner of your life. Sit still and feel what is within you. Sit still and paint like you have never painted before Picture Quote #1

The camera was waiting for me by predestination and I took to it as a musician takes to the piano or a painter to canvas. I found that I was master of the elements, that I could work miracles Picture Quote #1

Beauty and happiness and life are all the same and they are pervasive, unattached and abstract and they are our only concern. They are immeasurable, completely lacking in substance. They are perfect and sublime. This is the subject matter of art Picture Quote #1

Use your time to bathe yourself in the gift. Move your hand across the canvas. Go to museums. Make this into an obsession Picture Quote #1

A calculated, malignant, devastating evil has arisen in our world,... Civilization cannot ignore the wrongs that have been done. America will not tolerate their being repeated. Justice has a new mission, a new calling against an old evil Picture Quote #1

By having the big lines of the composition going out of the canvas, your imagination can wander beyond the edge. It will make it seem part of a large composition Picture Quote #1

If you look into the past of the successful painter you will find square miles of canvas behind him Picture Quote #1

I throw down the gauntlet to chance. For example, I prepare the ground for a picture by cleaning my brush over the canvas. Spilling a little turpentine can also be helpful Picture Quote #1

My way is to seize an image the moment it has formed in my mind, to trap it as a bird and to pin it at once to canvas. Afterward I start to tame it, to master it. I bring it under control and I develop it Picture Quote #1

We have to make a really cold judgement. Would the consequence of civil war be more devastating than the consequences of staying the course? Picture Quote #1

Doubt is always accompanied by a pervasive cynicism that unconsciously puts a negative spin on whatever it touches Picture Quote #1

People think you can get out your canvas and paint any time you have a free moment. You can’t. Commercial art and painting are entirely different. Painting takes a different mental approach. You have to get the right attitude, the right mood Picture Quote #1

Of course, when one is faced with a canvas, one is no longer alone, and the sense of solitude diminishes. This can be an agreeable passage of time. In fact, solitude then becomes a kind of companion Picture Quote #1

Maybe the given person, cup, or landscape is lost before one gets to painting. A figure exerts a continuing and unspecified influence on a painting as the canvas develops. The represented forms are loaded with psychological feeling. It can’t ever just be painting Picture Quote #1

A young person wanting to become an artist might simply go purposefully and dedicatedly to his or her room with a few books and a thousand blank canvases for four years Picture Quote #1

If we view a great mountain soaring into the sky, it may excite us, evoke an uplifted feeling within us. There is an interplay of something we see outside of us with our inner response. The artist takes that response and its feelings and shapes it on canvas with paint so that when finished it contains the experience Picture Quote #1

We are consuming our forests three times faster than they are being reproduced. Some of the richest timber lands of this continent have already been destroyed, and not replaced, and other vast areas are on the verge of destruction. Yet forests, unlike mines, can be so handled as to yield the best results of use, without exhaustion, just like grain fields Picture Quote #1

Even in the vast and mysterious reaches of the sea we are brought back to the fundamental truth that nothing lives to itself Picture Quote #1

The vast possibilities of our great future will become realities only if we make ourselves responsible for those realities Picture Quote #1

Science... has opened our eyes to the vastness of the universe and given us light, truth and freedom from fear where once was darkness, ignorance and superstition. There is no personal salvation, except through science Picture Quote #1

Probably the most pervasive false belief most of us harbor is the fallacy that only some superhuman act would have the power to turn our problems around. Nothing could be further from the truth. Life is cumulative. Whatever results we’re experiencing in our lives are the accumulation of a host of small decisions we’ve made as individuals, as a family, as a community, as a society, and as a species Picture Quote #1

If I know the outcome is not going to devastate my life, it makes me so much more excited for everything that’s to come Picture Quote #1

The minute I sat in front of a canvas I was happy. Because it was a world, and I could do what I liked in it Picture Quote #1
