There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.
Viggo Mortensen
Image
A painter with prestige among painters is bound to be discovered sooner or later.
Harold Rosenberg
Image
Music, as long as it exists, will always take its departure from the major triad and return to it. The musician cannot escape it any more than the painter his primary colors or the architect his three dimensions.
Paul Hindemith
Image
I've done an incredible amount of painters. It's an area, for me, where there's more mystery left. I've photographed so many musicians, I've been in studios so often, I know the whole process. The mystery's gone from it. I think it's important to keep mystery into our lives. There's a longing connected with it.
Anton Corbijn
Image
Use anger to emotionalize whatever thing you intend to do in life - being a painter, a poet or a photographer
Gordon Parks
Image
I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
There are some people who may not like precision in their art. They may like it to be grittier and more gestural, more of a direct expression in the way that a painter would put his strokes on canvas.
Adrian Tomine
Image
My name is Schwitters, Kurt Schwitters... I'm a painter and I nail my pictures... I'd like to be accepted into the Dada Club
Kurt Schwitters
Image
Just as I am astonished that a bank clerk never eats a cheque, so too am I astonished that no painter before me ever thought of painting a soft watch.
Salvador Dali
Image
The first object of the painter is to make a flat plane appear as a body in relief and projecting from that plane
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
If we don't have a sense of humor, we lack a sense of perspective
Wayne Thiebaud
Image
Paint records the most delicate gesture and the most tense. It tells whether the painter sat or stood or crouched in front of the canvas. Paint is a cast made of the painter's movements, a portrait of the painter's body and thoughts.
James Elkins
Image
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures.
Andre Malraux
Image
Only a small percentage of novelists, painters, musicians, scientists, anywhere in the world, are talented. But there are many more in Hollywood than one would expect from looking movies.
Hortense Powdermaker
Image
Directing is really exciting. In the end, it's more fun to be the painter than the paint.
George Clooney
Image
No one ever gets to see Foley artists at work, and they're so strange. They see the world differently: things as things that might make sounds that sound like other things. They see the whole world that way - like when you're a house painter, all you see is a bunch of houses that need painting.
Guy Maddin
Image
It has always been difficult for historians to fully grasp the intelligence of painters.
Dore Ashton
Image
When a figure painter executes a landscape he treats it as if it were a face Degas' landscapes are unparalleled because they are visionary landscapes.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Image
The painter who has no doubt about his own ability will attain very little.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
It's the duty of all novelists, all painters, all musicians, all people who try to make art move: to look for something they feel authentically, without paying attention to styles.
Nathalie Sarraute
Image
I don't consider myself a painter. I think of myself more as an artist who uses paintings rather than simply makes them. Especially with my latest pieces, the work may be informed by conversations surrounding the medium, but it's not in any way fixed or limited to them.
Landon Metz
Image
Artist - musicians, painters, writers, poets, always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life.
Billy Joel
Image
It's difficult to choose between these art forms. Iconography is entirely different from the style of the 15th century masters, who were experts in foreshortening and perspective. The technical skill and visual effects of painters like Uccello have to be admired. They achieved a level of artistry that has never been surpassed, in my opinion.
