A painter is a choreographer of space.
Barnett Newman
Image
I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.
Jackson Pollock
Image
Cold exactitude is not art... The so-called consciousness of the majority of painters is only perfection applied to the art of boring. People like that, if they could, would work with the same minute attention on the back of their canvas.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Every form is a base for color, every color is the attribute of a form.
Victor Vasarely
Image
This is something that I dream about: to live films, to arrive at the point at which one can live for films, can think cinematographically, eat cinematographically, sleep cinematographically, as a poet, a painter, lives, eats, sleeps painting.
Bernardo Bertolucci
Image
I hate to say I'm a photographer, because I learned photography as I went along. But I also hate to say I'm a painter, a draftsman, even an artist. I think it's good when you're confused about what you are it means you haven't defined yourself as an artist yet.
Vik Muniz

I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.
Andy Summers
Image
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
Vincent Van Gogh

As a painter I shall never signify anything of importance. I feel it Absolutely.
Vincent Van Gogh

The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Many painters are afraid of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the truly passionate painter who dares-and who has once broken the spell of 'you can't.'
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
And painted portraits have a life of their own that comes from deep in the soul of the painter and where the machine can't go.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Try to walk as much as you can, and keep your love for nature, for that is the true way to learn to understand art more and more. Painters understand nature and love her and teach us to see her. If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I myself believe that there is in every painter's life a period of making absurdities. In my case I think that period is already long past.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is vain for painters... to endeavour to invent without materials on which the mind may work.
Joshua Reynolds
Image
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am astonished at the high prices paid for works by painters who are dead, prices none of them could expect when they were alive. It is a kind of tulip trade, in which living painters suffer but do not profit.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Dali was the great painter then and surrealism was a way of life.
Vincente Minnelli
