More quotes by 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 pencil is like a fencer's foil.
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
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
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 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
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
God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!
Andrew Wyeth
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
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.
Andrew Wyeth
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
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
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
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.
Andrew Wyeth
When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.
Andrew Wyeth
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
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
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.
