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
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
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 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.

Image
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.

I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.

Image
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
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
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.

Image
God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!
Andrew Wyeth
Image
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.

I am not a juicy painter.

Image
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
Image
If somehow I can, before I leave this earth, combine my absolutely mad freedom and excitement with truth, then I will have done something.

Image
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.

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.
