Image
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it the whole story doesn't show.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
You think you're developing and getting better and then you see something you did years ago. Looking at your early work.. sometimes it has a depth that surprises you.
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
I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work
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
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.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I get letters from people about my work. The thing that pleases me most is that my work touches their feelings. In fact, they don't talk about the paintings. They end up telling me the story of their life or how their father died.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
My struggle is to preserve that abstract flash - like something you caught out of the corner of your eye, but in the picture you can look at it directly.
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.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I am not a juicy painter.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work to leave no residue of technical mannerisms to stand between my expression and the observer. To seek freedom through significant form and design rather than through the diversion of so-called free and accidental brush handling.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
Most artists look for something fresh to paint frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
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 all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

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