More quotes by Andrew Wyeth
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
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
I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work
Andrew Wyeth
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.
Andrew Wyeth
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
Andrew Wyeth
I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
What you have to do is break all the rules.
Andrew Wyeth
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
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 think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
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 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
