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.

More quotes by Andrew Wyeth
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
Andrew Wyeth
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
At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.
Andrew Wyeth
It's a shock for me to go through and see all those years of painting my life, which is very personal for me. It's a very difficult thing for an artist to look back at his work.
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
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.
Andrew Wyeth
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
Well, being the youngest child and frail, I was left alone a great deal of the time.
Andrew Wyeth
If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
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
My aim is not to exhibit craft, but rather to submerge it, and make it rightfully the handmaiden of beauty, power and emotional content.
Andrew Wyeth
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
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 dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
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
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.
Andrew Wyeth
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
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 don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
Andrew Wyeth
