Text Quotes
If we are inclined to forget how much there is in the world besides that which we anticipate, then works of art are perhaps a little to blame, for in them we find at work the same process of simplification or selection as in the imagination  (Works Quotes) When you have practiced drawing for a while... take pains and pleasure in constantly copying the best works that you can find done by the hand of great masters  (Works Quotes) Like adverts, today’s works of art aim to create a brand, even if they have no product to sell except themselves  (Works Quotes) On the one hand it is said that the aim and object of music is to excite emotions, i.e., pleasurable emotions; on the other hand, the emotions are said to be the subject matter which musical works are intended to illustrate. Both propositions are alike in this, that one is as false as the other  (Works Quotes) Efforts to revive the art principles of the past at best produce works of art that resemble a stillborn child  (Works Quotes) The hardest thing to remember is that what we each really want is the truth of our lives, good or bad. Not rocking the boat is an illusion that can only be maintained by the unspoken agreement not to feel and in the long run it never really works. Let go of saving the boat and save the passengers instead  (Works Quotes) I have to go on writing because I wouldn’t be able to go on without writing. It is the only function that works for me, and without that function, I would die  (Works Quotes) I have a hard time waking up. No alarm clock works! It sounds childish, but I seriously have my manager, my mom or a buddy of mine wake me up if I have to be somewhere. It`s a serious issue! I`ve been very late for some serious gigs because of it!  (Works Quotes) Shouldn’t it give us pause that the oldest works of art are as impressive today in their beauty and spontaneity as they were many thousands of years ago?  (Works Quotes) At times I come across works of mine which are soundly done and really in my style, and at such moments I find great solace  (Works Quotes) I am all for art’s finding a large audience. But the way that’s happening now, with big works filling big galleries and bigger shows, is mostly stopping statements from being made. Or heard. Or talked about. Or really examined. It’s watering things down  (Works Quotes) You can eliminate color and still have a painting that works, but you must have drawing, value and design  (Works Quotes) A lot of us have all sorts of ideas, and we select some rather than others and give expression to those... and some works of art are more successful than others. Some languish in obscurity and are never heard of again, while others form the foundation of a whole school of art  (Works Quotes) Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they’re finished. The person you are right now is as transient, as fleeting and as temporary as all the people you’re ever been. The one constant in our lives is change  (Works Quotes) A painting works only on the edge of not working. Then what is ungraspable comes near  (Works Quotes) The artist dreams of works of real breadth; but, limited by his personality and the nature of his medium, limited by inner disturbances and loss of purpose, he often works more narrowly than he’d intended  (Works Quotes) There’s only a certain amount of works you can make, so you have to make only the ones you really want to make. It’s all about trying to be as productive as possible  (Works Quotes) Under ordinary circumstances, bad art naturally gets sorted out and disappears. That is how history works when it is left alone to do its job  (Works Quotes) It is not certainty which is creative, but the uncertainty we are pledged to in our works  (Works Quotes) Critics are the products of their own times and biases and what they have to say about works of art is as transient and insubstantial as fashion  (Works Quotes) It requires a conviction that every people has a unique contribution to give to mankind, and that this they must make or remain sterile, subservient, sallow, and that this contribution they must have commenced to make before they can hope to understand the spirit that informs all great works and inspires all noble living  (Works Quotes) The truth is that works of art test the spectator much more than the spectator tests them  (Works Quotes) Your rules should arise out of your passions and your experience with what works for you  (Works Quotes) I don’t want dead paint, so I test many of my works by studying them in a dark room at twilight or even after dark to check the luminosity. If the darker forms still have resonance and luminosity, I know the painting’s working  (Works Quotes) Since the age of six I have had the habit of sketching forms of objects. Although from about fifty I have often published my pictorial works, before the seventieth year none is worthy  (Works Quotes) The as if principle works. Act as if you were not afraid and you will become courageous, as if you could and you’ll find you can. Act as if you like a person and you’ll find a friendship  (Works Quotes) When I hear of the destruction of a species, I feel just as if all the works of some great writer have perished  (Works Quotes) The leader works in the open and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives  (Works Quotes) Each man must work for himself, and unless he so works, no outside help can avail him  (Works Quotes) Who reports the works and ways of the clouds, those wondrous creations coming into being every day like freshly upheaved mountains?  (Works Quotes)
