There must be something in oneself which is essential. Therefore I refrain from referring to a landscape or certain objects when speaking of a picture. The hand is cleverer than the mind.

More quotes by Douglas Portway
Art is precisely that condition which pertains when, after all analysis and reduction to parts has taken place, there remains a 'quality' which is more than the sum of those parts, which could not exist in any other form, and which cannot be caught, or held, or contained.
Douglas Portway
I want my paintings to have a light of their own, they must glow from inside.
Douglas Portway
Any art which can be subjected to an analytical process is, by this very fact, removed from the possibility of being art.
Douglas Portway
My paintings should become objects into which one could float, as in water, so that one's mind is hung... suspended, and the emanation of the painting would penetrate into people's consciousness.
