I'm not at all interested in painting the object just as it is in nature. Certainly I'm much more interested in the mood of a thing than the truth of a thing.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.
Andrew Wyeth

Image
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
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.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I don't really have studios. I wander around - around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I wanted to get it all down, maybe out of my system. I wanted to be able to say, Everything's possible-if you believe and can get excited.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I can't work completely out of my imagination-I must put my foot in a bit of truth-and then I can fly free.
