We'll be potters, we'll be painters, we'll be textile designers, we'll be jewelers, we'll be a little this, a little of that. We were going to be the renaissance people [when we were young].
Warren MacKenzie
Image
I do have great respect for painting, but I am definitely not a painter. I make drawings of paintings, and I'm jealous of painting for sure, but, for me, the paper gives my work a limit.
Robert Longo
Image
Let's look at people as artists and try to support them just because Picasso painted a couple of bad paintings, that's no reason to say he's a lousy painter.
Steve Guttenberg
Image
It is better to be nothing than a follower of other painters. The wise man has said when one follows another one is always behind.
Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot
Image
Drawing is the basis of art. A bad painter cannot draw. But one who draws well can always paint.
Arshile Gorky
Image
Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. I think creative people - and I take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but I think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
Drawing is the honesty of the art.
Salvador Dali
Image
A good painter needs only three colours: black, white and red.
Titian
Image
I wanted to be a painter and an artist. And it's interesting that in some of my later musical works, I refer so often and associate myself with works of art.
Gunther Schuller
Image
kar.a.bek.i.an (n.) (from Rabo Karabekian, U.S. 20th Cent. painter). Fiasco in which a person causes total destruction of own work and reputation through stupidity, carelessness or both.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
Even monarchs have need of authors, and fear their pens more than ugly women the painter's pencil.
Baltasar Gracian
Image
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
Claude Monet
Image
When we speak of the perfection of art, we must recollect what the materials are with which a painter contends with nature. For the light of the sun he has but patent yellow and white lead - for the darkest shade, umber or soot.
John Constable
Image
I paint for myself. I don't know how to do anything else, anyway. Also I have to earn my living, and occupy myself.
Francis Bacon
Image
Le style, pour l'e crivain aussi bien que pour le peintre, est une question non de technique mais de vision. For the writer as well as for the painter, style is not a question of technique, but of vision.
Marcel Proust
Image
Expression for me does not reside in passions glowing in a human face or manifested by violent movement. The entire arrangement of my picture is expressive the place occupied by my figures, the empty space around them, the proportions, everything has its share.
Henri Matisse
Image
Planning is design. As a designer what I tend to do, and what's different from being a painter, is that I interact with other people, and the people have things they need to have happen.
Paula Scher
Image
He that would be a painter must have a natural turn thereto. Love and delight therein are better of the Art of Painting than compulsion.
Albrecht Durer
Image
I liked drawing and painting, because the only failure would be to listen to the doubters who wanted me to stop drawing and painting because 'you aren't going to make a living doing that.' I liked looking in art books at the work of painters.
Billy Childish
Image
Painting doesn't freeze time. It circulates and recycles time like a wheel that turns. Those who were first might well be last. Painting is a very slow art. It doesn't travel with the speed of light. That's why dead painters shine so bright.
Marlene Dumas
Image
Inarticulate wretches have been behind most of the major advances in civilization. If Vincent Van Gogh had been able to get on with his neighbours, then he might have become an excellent painter-decorator, and received a big turn out at his funeral, and that would be that. But the genes wouldn't let him.
Declan Lynch
Image
A painter can hang his pictures, but a writer can only hang himself.
Edward Dahlberg
Image
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
Image
Writer or painter god-parents are notoriously unreliable. That is, there is certain before long to be a cooling of friendship.
Gertrude Stein
