More quotes by 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'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 think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
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
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
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
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.
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.
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
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
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'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
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
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
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
At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.
Andrew Wyeth
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.
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
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.
Andrew Wyeth
