I went to art school, and every Tuesday and Friday we drew the nude. If you look at Western painting, male and female nudes are in the center of every painting. It's difficult and exciting to draw the nude. Why get so upset about this? It's our duty to break taboos.
Peter Greenaway

I want to fall in love with beautiful women of all races. Rescue somebody every now and then, improve my painting, and improve my sentence structure. If I can make a living doing that stuff, that's great, and I will keep doing it, and they can do whatever they want with my image. I couldn't care less.
William T. Vollmann
Image
I've been attracted to imagery and occasionally I've drawn from it, but I never thought I'd be painting these paintings. I didn't have any desire to. I didn't think there was any reason to.
William T. Wiley
Image
I'm just a landscape painter. I look out the window and I see what's going on, and I paint it. While I'm painting it, I also write thoughts about what I see going on out there.

I'm not a critic. I'm not a journalist. I'm not a philosopher. Arguing that punk has run its course is like saying painting ran its course after the Renaissance. Punk is an idea. It's freedom. And it'll be around 200 years from now for the people who want it.
Patti Smith
Image
Laying out grounds may be considered a liberal art, in some sort like poetry and painting.
William Wordsworth
Image
To make music I rely on other people, which is good - that's the main difference in painting and music at this stage. They are separate parts of my life really, like having two jobs, one in a bar, one in a lighthouse.

For me, filmmaking combines everything. That's the reason I've made cinema my life's work. In films, painting and literature, theatre and music come together. But a film is still a film.
Akira Kurosawa
Image
It is no use painting the foot of the tree white, the strength of the bark cries out from beneath the paint.
Aime Cesaire
Image
There are people who don't respond to color. That's what painting is. It's color.
Larry Poons

Women are important in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. But while their faces are seen everywhere- in oil paintings, watercolours, drawings, - their voices are never heard.
Jan Marsh
Image
This beginning with Audacity, or being thrown into the middle of it, is already a very great part of the art of painting.
Winston Churchill
Image
Mass production is nothing new. Weren't cathedrals built through mass production? The pyramids?... Paintings can be painted with the left hand, the right hand, someone else's hand, or many people's hands. The scale of production is irrelevant to its content.
Ai Weiwei
Image
Painting is a companion with whom one may walk a great part of life's journey.
Winston Churchill
Image
Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception.
Winston Churchill
Image
I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.
Julian Schnabel
Image
I hope I have made it clear that the work is about perfection as we are aware of it in our minds but that the paintings are very far from being perfect - completely removed in fact - even as we ourselves are.
Agnes Martin
Image
You can't make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can't make a perfect painting.
Agnes Martin
Image
My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.
Agnes Martin
Image
I went through about six or seven painting methods just to see what I didn't want to do. And then I got off the wall, and went into the environment.
Agnes Denes
Image
My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems, seeing a painting, listening to some music, some opera, which has nothing at all to do with a volatile human condition or struggle or whatever. It enriches me as a human being.
Wole Soyinka
Image
Painting is a visceral experience, one loaded with subtle information. Only Cezanne could get away with a system.
Wolf Kahn
Image
I want the people looking at my work to feel a sense of all the possibilities of painting, and, through that, in life as a whole. When that happens, I feel I've accomplished something useful.
Wolf Kahn
Image
I'm always trying to get to a danger point in color, where color either becomes too sweet or it becomes too harsh, it becomes too noisy or too quiet, and at that point I still want the picture to be strong, forceful, and the carrier of everything that a painting has to have: contrast, drama, austerity.
