Walter Darby Bannard
You don't have to be a cave man to appreciate Lascaux.
Walter Darby Bannard
Don't burden art with words and ideas. Art comes from a deeper place.

Walter Darby Bannard
Art flows more easily when you are not thinking about what 'should' be in it or how it 'should' be done. The Impressionists taught us to look and see, not assume.

Walter Darby Bannard
Talent is like a seed which needs fertile soil. There is no less talent now, there is less fertile soil to nourish it.
Walter Darby Bannard
Art is not 'about.' Art is.
Walter Darby Bannard
The art consensus is not criteria, it is convenience.
Walter Darby Bannard
When you have made a good painting, don't do another like it, but remember the process, what you did, what you were thinking and feeling.
Walter Darby Bannard
Power is like money. Some know how to get it few know how to use it.
