More quotes by Michelangelo
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
Michelangelo
I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom.
Michelangelo
The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.
Michelangelo
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
