Painting Quotes
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech. - Simonides Quotes
I love painting and music, of course. I dont know nearly as much about them as I know about poetry. Ive certainly been influenced by fiction. I was overwhelmed by War and Peace when I read it, and I didnt read it until I was in my late 20s. - Kenneth Koch Quotes
It is this research into pure painting that is the problem at the present moment. I do not know any painters in Paris who are really searching for this ideal world. - Robert Delaunay Quotes
Painting is the representation of visible forms. The essence of realism is its negation of the ideal. - Gustave Courbet Quotes
Painting is a hobby for me. - Renee Oconnor Quotes
Language is much closer to film than painting is. - Sergei Eisenstein Quotes
Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and natures phenomena before it can again become great. - Edward Hopper Quotes
Painting self-portraits without clothes on has also given me some publicity. - Cleo Moore Quotes
All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too; the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order; order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time. - Otto Dix Quotes
Around 1980, I went back to painting with a vengeance. - Martin Mull Quotes
I was painting sets, working in editorial as an assistant, driving their trucks, lying that I knew how to drive a truck, and doing commercials and documentaries. - Richard Donner Quotes
By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life. - Edvard Munch Quotes
The paintings are transferred from my computer to a disk, and I can hand it to the printer this way; or I can modem the painting to the printer over the phone lines from my house in Hawaii. - Buffy Sainte Marie Quotes
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If theres a clash between the two, its bad art. - Marc Chagall Quotes
Painting is a language which cannot be replaced by another language. I dont know what to say about what I paint, really. - Balthus Quotes
Well, I am not interested in the kind of expression that you have when you paint a painting with brush strokes. Its all right, but its already done and I want to do something new. - Donald Judd Quotes
At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery. - Andrew Wyeth Quotes
This direction is sterile and without hope to those who wish to give painting a richer and more human meaning and a wider scope. - Edward Hopper Quotes
I think music has gone through a period of something very severe, rather radical, rather the way painting did with cubism. - Harrison Birtwistle Quotes
When the painting is hanging on your wall for a long time, you dont notice it. You get tired of it, even if its a Picasso. When the next generation inherits the painting, they sell it. I dont want to be sold. - Julio Iglesias Quotes
I dont know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere. - Philip Guston Quotes
One learns about painting by looking at and imitating other painters. - Frank Stella Quotes
Im a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... it would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me. - Andrew Wyeth Quotes
I was influenced by surrealist poetry and painting as were thousands of other people, and it seems to me to have become a part of the way I write, but its not. - Kenneth Koch Quotes
This is what Im looking forward to: brush in hand, whatever Im painting in my sights, maybe a cigarette on the go, and sunshine, lots of sunshine. - Ron Wood Quotes
I think a painting is more like the real world if its made out the real world. - Robert Rauschenberg Quotes
Most of the power of painting comes through the manipulation of space... but I dont understand that. - Jasper Johns Quotes
And I like the idea of change. Because I dont see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because its there like a piece of furniture. - Minoru Yamasaki Quotes
Painting and writing are solitary arts. - Conrad Hall Quotes
Painting does what we cannot do - it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane. - Chuck Jones Quotes
