More quotes by Robert Genn
As every artist who has used the method knows - photography's a loyal slave and a tyrannical master.
Robert Genn
In acrylics, what you lose on the straights you make up for on the corners.
Robert Genn
A drawing a day keeps the cobwebs away.
Robert Genn
The centipede has rhythm and flow in its hundred legs precisely because it does not have to think about it. Consider this the next time you move the instruments of your art.
Robert Genn
Art is a course in personal development that has no reliable diploma and no known end. The pursuit of art instructs in beauty as well as ugliness, fantasy as well as common sense. Art levels souls and baffles brains. Art softens pain because it is pain. Art gives joy because it is joy.
Robert Genn
God may work in light, but we mortals work in pigment.
Robert Genn
There is no progress without product.
Robert Genn
The most expensive bottle of wine ever sold - a 1787 Chateau Lafite Bordeaux, supposedly once the property of Thomas Jefferson... It was sold at Christie's in London in 1985 for $156,000.00. Like a lot of high-priced art, the bottle is essentially undrinkable.
Robert Genn
When shucked and released from its edges, the windowless subject stands alone as its own thing.
Robert Genn
Don't assume there is only one way. Don't assume that mistakes are a bad thing. Don't think for one minute that everyone agrees with what 'good' is.
Robert Genn
Our currency is what we are able to make.
Robert Genn
Music is the most abstract of the arts and it expresses the sound of the universe itself. These are the real rhythms that stimulate the artist's mind and guide his hand.
Robert Genn
The studio is an extension of the sandbox and the kindergarten playroom. It has a dynamic unlike any office or factory. It's a room at the service of a dreamer on her way to becoming a master.
Robert Genn
Drawing is still the bottom line.
Robert Genn
You're right, super-realism is back in style.
Robert Genn
This evening, while signing my name on a painting, I was thinking I might stop signing my cheques.
Robert Genn
A young person wanting to become an artist might simply go purposefully and dedicatedly to his or her room with a few books and a thousand blank canvases for four years.
Robert Genn
The Canadian painter A. Y. Jackson noted that 'failure of sight' was a tiresome problem. He meant we should be able to look at our work-in-progress as if it were previously unseen.
Robert Genn
Your easel is the nuclear sun of an uncommon universe.
Robert Genn
We are trying to evoke and reinforce meanings from the spaces we cover and the times we're given. Short or long this becomes our purpose. What we artists do is important stuff.
