Wolf Kahn Quotes

Keep the childlike vision and remain true to your ideas Picture Quote #1

Painting is a visceral experience, one loaded with subtle information. Only Cezanne could get away with a system Picture Quote #1

To be a landscape painter is to be a perverse individual Picture Quote #1

I’m always trying to get to a danger point in color, where color either becomes too sweet or it becomes too harsh, it becomes too noisy or too quiet, and at that point I still want the picture to be strong, forceful, and the carrier of everything that a painting has to have: contrast, drama, austerity Picture Quote #1

People mistakenly think that art is about nature, or about an artists feelings about nature. It is instead a path of enlightenment and pleasure, one of many paths, where nature and the artists feelings are merely raw material Picture Quote #1

Chaos in nature is immediately challenging and forces a good artist to impose some type of order on his or her perception of a site Picture Quote #1

The artist’s alertness to the coloristic demands of each picture, the ability to respond to the picture’s needs, to feed the color until its appetite is satiated; these are the true measures of a colorist’s talent Picture Quote #1

I want the people looking at my work to feel a sense of all the possibilities of painting, and, through that, in life as a whole. When that happens, I feel I’ve accomplished something useful Picture Quote #1

There are many prejudices about art, and first among them is that it is a skill and that there are definite rules Picture Quote #1

It is through color changes that we go forward... all decisions come about as the picture is made and in response to painterly demands. The descriptive and anecdotal come second Picture Quote #1
