I have always regarded manual labour as creative and looked with respect-and, yes, wonder-at people who work with their hands. It seems to me that their creativity is no less than that of a violinist or painter.
Pablo Casals
Image
The world somehow is always the same. The only thing that can improve is the individual life. One can live a good life. One can give life a meaning. Either by drinking oneself to death or by painting oneself to death or by loving oneself to death.
Odd Nerdrum
Image
The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad.
Salvador Dali
Image
We must revolutionize our optical perception. We must remove the veil from our eyes.
Alexander Rodchenko
Image
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.
Georges Braque
Image
For the collection, I am like a painter or a writer. I may or may not be a character in my own story.
Sonia Rykiel
Image
My mother thought I would have a hard life as a painter. My father thought the highest thing a person could be was an architect. Below that was a painter. So he thought it was much better than being, say, a doctor.
Alex Katz
Image
That was an important development for me, just realizing that you need to follow your pleasure, at least as a painter. I think any kind of artist needs to, no matter what you're doing.
John Currin
Image
The true professional makes art when he is not feeling good, if the studio is too cold or too warm or the walls are falling down. We are painters and we paint. If I were a sculptor, I'd sculpt.
Jack White
Image
If only Heaven will give me just another ten years... Just another five more years, then I could become a real painter.
Hokusai
Image
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.
Georgia O'Keeffe
Image
On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.
Jackson Pollock
Image
I wanted to be a painter, really, when I was growing up as a kid. It was one thing that really took a grip on me.
Andy Serkis
Image
I would much rather be known as the mother of a great son than the author of a great book or the painter of a great masterpiece.
Rose Kennedy
Image
The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.
PJ Harvey
Image
I have never heard a dancer asking for advice about how to stay focused on her footwork, or a painter complaining about the dull day-to-day task of painting. What task worth doing isn't worth daily effort? Do you think Michelangelo was having fun the whole time he was on his back painting the Sistine Chapel's ceiling?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Has the painter not always gone to an art school, or at least to an established master, for instruction? And the composer, the sculptor, the architect? Then why not the writer? Good poets, like good hybrid corn, are both born and made.
Paul Engle
Image
A painter paints the appearance of things, not their objective correctness, in fact he creates new appearances of things.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Image
I don't like to make a distinction between the writer and the painter , finally , because I do both things anyway . Everybody's dreaming and trying to put down their dreams in the way that their hand knows best . I feel as much a unity , as much comradeship , with painters as I do writers .
Clive Barker
Image
The power of daring anything their fancy suggest, as always been conceded to the painter and the poet.
Horace
Image
For a painter as abstract as myself, the collages offer a way of incorporating bits of the everyday world into pictures.
Robert Motherwell
Image
I don't know any artists or painters, like, Oh that painting group. I want to write down this idea of a group of artists who treat it like a band. Like, Who made the painting? All four of us did.
Fred Armisen
Image
I'm a simple man, and I use simple materials.
L. S. Lowry
