More quotes by 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
In the companionship of art we are all of a time. Early or late we are to be shared.
Robert Genn
We artists give daily thanks for the miracle of our planet and for the inclination and the capability to honour it.
Robert Genn
While this may seem peculiar, the combo of work and distraction leads to levels of innovation not often generated by structured, focused thinking alone.
Robert Genn
I have always found it a testament to the importance of painting that the first thing many people do when their home is on fire is to grab their paintings and then run out.
Robert Genn
Artist, gain knowledge, but know that the greatest guru of all is the guru within.
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
Factual titling satisfies and is pure by its lack of bamboozlement.
Robert Genn
There is a wonderful feeling when you walk into your own exhibition. You see the work as a true extension of yourself. Win or lose, your interests have led you to an accumulation of your personal expression, signed lower right, mounted to best advantage.

Do something others will have the desire to plagiarize but will find difficult to do.
Robert Genn
When shucked and released from its edges, the windowless subject stands alone as its own thing.
Robert Genn
Sometimes... we suffer from the tyranny of comparison. Contests, competitions, thrive on it. Who cares?
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 brilliance of art as a collectible is that it has a way of reaching out on an emotional level. It touches on mystery, even spirituality.
Robert Genn
The short-goal habit is key to larger success and is at the root of human greatness. Life is think and do, think and do, think and do. Small steps can be greater than great leaps.
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
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
You're right, super-realism is back in style.
Robert Genn
Risk in art is experimentation. There is no sorrow in self-driven experimentation.
