I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it the whole story doesn't show.

My pencil is like a fencer's foil.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object.

To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me. If I have an emotion, before I die, that's deeper than any emotion that I've ever had, then I will paint a more powerful picture that will have nothing to do with just technique, but will go beyond it.

If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.

When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I surrender to the world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare.

To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.

Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
To have all your life's work and to have them along the wall, it's like walking in with no clothes on. It's terrible.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
Well, being the youngest child and frail, I was left alone a great deal of the time.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I've tried never to be easily satisfied, and I've been painting like fury now for forty years.... I have a feeling. You paint about as far as your emotions go, and that's about it.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
If somehow I can, before I leave this earth, combine my absolutely mad freedom and excitement with truth, then I will have done something.

At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.
