The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
Hans Hofmann
Image
Sometimes I seem to be two people. One who does not paint and one who does. The one who does not paint assumes that the one who does can paint anything. The one who is the painter sometimes finds it difficult to live up to that faith.
Mary Pratt
Image
The cult of individuality and personality, which promotes painters and poets only to promote itself, is really a business. The greater the 'genius' of the personage, the greater the profit.
George Grosz
Image
The filmmaker Amos Poe was a huge inspiration for me by making guerrilla-style punk films on the streets of New York and - well, it's just a lot of painters and artists and filmmakers all within that scene, and it's very, very important to me.
Jim Jarmusch
Image
Good art theory must smell of the studio, although its language should differ from the household talk of painters and sculptors.
Rudolf Arnheim
Image
In some ways painters have been more important in my life than writers. Painters teach you how to see—a faculty that usually isn’t highly developed in poets. Whether you take a walk in the woods with a painter, or go to a museum with one, through them you notice shapes, colors, harmonies, relationships that enhance your own seeing.
Carolyn Kizer

I've got a very wide taste in art. I like Russian icon painters. I like Salvador Dali. It's like music. Sometimes you want to hear Led Zeppelin, and sometimes you want to hear Stravinsky. It just depends.
Peter Webber
Image
I know if I did that [career as painter] all the time I would get tired of it.
Lynne Rae Perkins
Image
I have never been much of a painter.
Christian Marclay

No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
Edouard Manet
Image
When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me
Norah Jones
Image
The Painter must leave the beholder something to guess.
Ernst Gombrich
Image
It's no easy matter to paint a background. I venture to say that the old painters had more difficulty with their grounds than with their figures. You know the story of Vandyke brought to Rubens with this recommendation: 'He already knows how to paint a background.' 'That is more than I can do!' was the reply.
William Morris Hunt
Image
Being a songwriter or a painter you're definitely facing your fears. You're facing your fears because you're speaking your truth you're speaking from your heart. That's something that's not easy to do, you set yourself up for all sorts of criticism or vulnerability but that's why we do it.
Brett Dennen
Image
Affective gestures pointing to things near either in time or space should be made with the hand not very far from the body of the person pointing and if these things are distant, the hand of the painter should be more extended and the face turned toward the person to whom he is addressing the demonstration.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Without ethical consciousness, a painter is only a decorator.
Robert Motherwell
Image
The painter is, as to the execution of his work, a mechanic but as to his conception and spirit and design he is hardly below even the poet.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
Charles Baudelaire
Image
Art critic! Is that a profession? When I think we are stupid enough, we painters, to solicit those people's compliments and to put ourselves into their hands! What shame! Should we even accept that they talk about our work?
Edgar Degas
Image
It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism.
Mark Rothko
Image
When painters feel the need to make a shift toward self-discovery, they turn to black and white for a time.
Barnett Newman
Image
Well, the first thing I wanted to be was a carpenter. Then I wanted to be a painter and then a singer. It was when I first saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' that I wanted to be an actor.
Michael Pitt
Image
All the earth colours of the painter's palette are out there in the many miles of badlands.
Georgia O'Keeffe
