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.

More quotes by Andrew Wyeth
If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
Andrew Wyeth
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
I am not a juicy painter.
Andrew Wyeth
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people I do.
Andrew Wyeth
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
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
Andrew Wyeth
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
Andrew Wyeth
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
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
Andrew Wyeth
I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work
Andrew Wyeth
I've never studied the Japanese. That's something that must have crept in there. But the Japanese are my biggest clients. They seem to like the elemental quality.
Andrew Wyeth
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
Andrew Wyeth
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
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
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
I think a person permeates a spot, and a lost presence makes the environment timeless to me, keeps an area alive. It pulsates because of that.
Andrew Wyeth
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.
Andrew Wyeth
God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!
Andrew Wyeth
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
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it the whole story doesn't show.
