More quotes by 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 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
What you have to do is break all the rules.
Andrew Wyeth
There's a quote from Hamlet that is my guide... He tells the players not to exaggerate but to hold a mirror up to nature. Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
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
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
Andrew Wyeth
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
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'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
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
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
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
Andrew Wyeth
I am not a juicy painter.
Andrew Wyeth
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.
Andrew Wyeth
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
Andrew Wyeth
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.
Andrew Wyeth
When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.
Andrew Wyeth
I had whooping cough when I was very young, which left me with bronchial problems, and I would always pick up colds. I was very thin and nervous so my father and mother took me out of school and had me tutored at home.
Andrew Wyeth
Well, being the youngest child and frail, I was left alone a great deal of the time.
