It is necessary to put yourself out for rejection, and accept that you will be rejected.
Robert Genn
Image
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
Image
Incompetence, in my books, is the failure of the critical faculties to interfere constructively with the natural flow.
Robert Genn
Image
Pushing yourself to extremes blows out the cobwebs of trusted habit. It shakes up what you know to be reliably safe and substitutes the miracle of insecurity.
Robert Genn
Image
Evolved creators are just as curious about their failures as they are of their successes.
Robert Genn
Image
Objects are held by the backgrounds that are cut into them.
Robert Genn
Image
Landscape painting tends to fall under more academic controls. I must say I often like working within these controls. It gives me the feeling that I'm taking part in a noble tradition.
Robert Genn
Image
The painting world is awash with people who cannot paint. This is a condition that would not be tolerated in other professions such as Dentistry, Medicine, or among members of the Airline Pilot's Association.
Robert Genn
Image
The job of art is to turn time into things.
Robert Genn
Image
Abstraction generally involves implication, suggestion and mystery, rather than obvious description.
