More quotes by Joshua Reynolds
The distinct blue, red, and yellow colors... though they have not the kind of harmony which is produced by a variety of broken and transparent colors, have the effect of grandeur.
Joshua Reynolds
You are never to lose sight of nature the instant you do, you are all abroad, at the mercy of every gust of fashion, without knowing or seeing the point to which you ought to steer.
Joshua Reynolds
The excellence of every art, must consist in the complete accomplishment of its purpose
Joshua Reynolds
An eye critically nice can only be formed by observing well-colored pictures with attention.
Joshua Reynolds
The great use of copying, if it be at all useful, should seem to be in learning color yet even coloring will never be perfectly attained by servilely copying the model before you.
Joshua Reynolds
A passion for his art, and an eager desire to excel, will more than supply an artist with the place of method.
Joshua Reynolds
Excellence is never granted to man but as the reward of labor. It argues no small strength of mind to persevere in habits of industry without the pleasure of perceiving those advances, which, like the hand of a clock, whilst they make hourly approaches to their point, yet proceed so slowly as to escape observation.
Joshua Reynolds
There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.
Joshua Reynolds
The art of seeing nature, or, in other words, the art of using models, is in reality the great object, the point to which all our studies are directed.
Joshua Reynolds
And he who does not know himself does not know others, so it may be said with equal truth, that he who does not know others knows himself but very imperfectly.
Joshua Reynolds
It is but a poor eloquence which only shows that the orator can talk.
Joshua Reynolds
Simplicity is an exact mediumbetween too little and too much.
Joshua Reynolds
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Joshua Reynolds
A mere copier of nature can never produce any thing great, can never raise and enlarge the conceptions, or warm the heart of the spectator.
Joshua Reynolds
Certainly, nothing can be more simple than monotony.
Joshua Reynolds
I do not see in what manner practice alone can be sufficient for the production of correct, excellent, and finished pictures. Works deserving this character never were produced, nor ever will arise, from memory alone.
Joshua Reynolds
Art in its perfection is not ostentatious it lies hid and works its effect, itself unseen.
Joshua Reynolds
Martial music has sudden and strongly marked transitions from one note to another which that style of music requires while in that which is intended to move the softer passions, the notes imperceptibly melt into one another.
Joshua Reynolds
Few have been taught to any purpose who have not been their own teachers.
Joshua Reynolds
It is vain for painters... to endeavour to invent without materials on which the mind may work.
Joshua Reynolds
