Now almost every artist outside of New York is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in New York the majority are. That's an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that.
Ad Reinhardt

My painting represents the victory of the forces of darkness and peace over the powers of light and evil.
Ad Reinhardt
Image
The essential of painting is that 'something', that 'ethereal glue,' that 'intermediary product' which the artist exudes with all his creative being and which he has the power to place, to encrust, to impregnate into the pictorial matter of the painting.
Yves Klein
Image
Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I participated in the transformation of my era. I did it with clothes, which is surely less important than music, architecture, painting but whatever it's worth I did it.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.
Abraham Maslow
Image
I paint for the sheer joy of painting. I have never sold any of my paintings. I'd rather give them to people for free.

I made work specifically for them not to like. If you made paintings of flowers and someone says they hate it, it's like, What do you mean? It's a flower! But if you make a painting of your name and somebody says they hate it, it's like, Well, why would you like a painting of my name anyway?

I was studying sculpture and painting and was working on a degree so I could become a teacher. I really liked teaching, and it was something I was pursuing when I got out of school.
Kurt Wagner

The paintings have only ever been ways of exploring architecture. I don't see them as art.
Zaha Hadid

Being in the studio, it's more of a controlled environment, where you can be Salvador Dali and sit back and look at the painting. And you can go, 'Ah, you know what? Maybe a little bit more red over here...maybe add some blue over here.' You can sit back and look at the painting.
Zakk Wylde

Collage-making, for me, is basically an act of painting, allowing me to indulge in an appetite for immediacy.

People were very affected by the war. But it didn't mean you stopped painting unless you were called into the Army then you just couldn't paint. But otherwise one continued.
Lee Krasner

Making a movie is, for me, like painting. I just enjoy the care that goes into every brushstroke and the choice of every color. I enjoy the intensity of it.
Abbie Cornish
Image
I was born into the century in which novels lost their stories, poems their rhymes, paintings their form, and music its beauty, but that does not mean I have to like that trend or go along with it.
Pat Conroy

This was pointed out to me by somebody who referred to the paintings of Rembrandt and his use of light: some elements are highlighted while others are obscured or even pushed back into the dark. And it's something that we do - we bring out elements that we want to emphasise.
Abbas Kiarostami

There are many ways of writing badly about painting... There is an 'appreciative' language of threadbare, not inaccurate, but overexposed and irritating words... the language of the schools which 'situates' works and artists in schools and movements... novelists and poets [that] see paintings as allegories of writing.

There's thieves among us Painting the walls All kinds of lies , and lies I never told it all
Zooey Deschanel

When Michael Werner saw a painting of mine, such as Die grosse Nacht im Eimer, which back then nobody wanted and everybody thought was ridiculous, he realized that this was the right provocation, that it represented the feeling of the times in the right way.
Georg Baselitz
Image
My first concern was to take care of my drawing. I did not have any knowledge in arts, especially Haitian arts, apart from the paintings I saw in my father's office.
Ralph Allen
Image
Painting is an unspoken and largely unrecognized dialogue, where paint speaks silently in masses and colors and the artist responds in moods.
James Elkins
Image
But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.
Bryan Ferry
Image
I need to see the original paintings just as little as I have to read the original manuscripts of books.
Rene Magritte
Image
When you talk about painters and you talk about painters painting masterpieces, there is no painter who painted only one painting and that was a masterpiece. You have to do a whole bunch of paintings to get to the place of mastering your craft.
