Andrew Wyeth
Image
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
My aim is not to exhibit craft, but rather to submerge it, and make it rightfully the handmaiden of beauty, power and emotional content.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.
