Quote

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.

Image
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
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
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
Image
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.

Image
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
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
Image
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
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 don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
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
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
Image
It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.
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
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
With watercolour, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane. Watercolour perfectly expresses the free side of my nature.

Image
At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
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
Image
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.

Image
God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!

Image
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.
