More quotes by Andrew Wyeth
It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.
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
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
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
If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
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
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
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
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.
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
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.
Andrew Wyeth
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.
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
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
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
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
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
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
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
