More quotes by Joshua L. Goldberg
The great square has no corners and the great implement completes nothing.
Joshua L. Goldberg
Painting is so close, so personal, so immediate, and so ordinary... It is the ordinary resurrections that define your painting.
Joshua L. Goldberg
Master water first and then paint.
Joshua L. Goldberg
Ask yourself, 'What is obstructing my vision?' What is the difference between seeing and looking?
Joshua L. Goldberg
Rapid-collage prevents any elevating movement toward a fixed goal. To 'be nowhere' is to let oneself be.
Joshua L. Goldberg
Seeing nothing one sees everything.
Joshua L. Goldberg
To be the authentic is to be detached and stand aside from oneself and the work so that the working process can take on an untrammeled life of its own. Labored self-involvement, contrivance, ulterior motives, even the extraordinary facility that one may have, must be let go.
Joshua L. Goldberg
Playful arising is authorized by both risk and trust in the process and in oneself. To be truly playful and improvisational one must not look for results.
