More quotes by 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
What you have to do is break all the rules.
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
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
Andrew Wyeth
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
Andrew Wyeth
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
Andrew Wyeth
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
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 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 am not a juicy painter.
Andrew Wyeth
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.
Andrew Wyeth
When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.
Andrew Wyeth
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
Andrew Wyeth
If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
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 love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad.
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. 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
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.
