I didn't have any real art training, but when I was about twelve nad thirteen, another boy and I went to a sign painter's house every Friday night and took lessons.
Rube Goldberg

We wouldn't be artists, writers, painters, musicians, if we weren't sensitive.
Wayne Coyne

I am not a painter. I am a poet. / Why? I think I would rather be / a painter, but I am not.
Frank O'Hara
Image
A painter is always overjoyed when anybody pays any attention to him at all, puts him in any category, calls him anything - as long as they call him something.
Wayne Thiebaud
Image
I haven't the slightest idea what art is, but to be a painter is something of which you have to prove.
Wayne Thiebaud

I don't paint like a woman is supposed to paint. Thank God, art doesn't bother about things like that.
Alice Neel

Well, in order for me to be successful... In order to be a great artist - musician, actor, painter, whatever - you must be able to be private in public at all times.
Lady Gaga

The camera was waiting for me by predestination and I took to it as a musician takes to the piano or a painter to canvas. I found that I was master of the elements, that I could work miracles.
Alfred Stieglitz

I like all those painters who loved and had a strong feeling for nature.
Alfred Sisley
Image
You hold in your hand the camel's-hair brush of a painter of Life. You stand before the vast white canvas of Time. The paints are your thoughts, emotions and acts.

I think it's really the job of the composer, the artist, the painter, the writer to present people with options. I'm just really reflecting the thoughts and actions around me.
Ian Anderson
Image
If I were a painter, I would paint beautiful bodies - I would paint nipples, and I would paint Bibles. Am I going to say, 'I'm not going to paint this woman's neck because people will think I just want to lick on necks?' Please! That's not what art is about.

Willa Cather
Image
The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time.
Willem de Kooning
Image
I'm an Indian-origin painter. I will remain so to my last breath.
M. F. Husain
Image
Poets like painters, thus unskilled to trace The naked nature and the living grace, With gold and jewels cover ev'ry part, And hide with ornaments their want of art. True wit is Nature to advantage dressed, What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.
Alexander Pope
Image
He who pretends to be either painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.
William Blake
Image
Poets heap virtues, painters gems, at will, And show their zeal, and hide their want of skill.

Painters aren't expected to paint bleak pictures, are they?
Alexander McCall Smith
Image
Poet and sculptor, do the work, / Nor let the modish painter shirk
