You
come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them
all flat.
Pierre Auguste Renoir
Nature is not only all
that is visible to the eye.. it also includes the inner
pictures of the soul.

Munch |

Everything
is such a sort of stoned state... I walk around with a
bunch of violets in my hand and a sledgehammer and a grain
of sand in my head. I am happy.
Brett Whiteley
The
most common money-related mistake artists make is a reluctance
to invest in their own careers.
Caroll Michels |

qUoTeS for mar26
No
longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women
knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel
and suffer and love.
Edvard Munch
I
remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving
art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's
what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult.
I'm only trying to do what I can't do.
Lucian Freud |

Mark
Rothko's paintings are.... "like television sets
for Zen Buddhists"
Unknown
I
will tell you that there have been no failures in my life.
I don't want to sound like some metaphysical queen, but
there have been no failures. There have been some tremendous
lessons.
Oprah

I
myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through
me.
William Blake
What
is one to think of those fools who tell one that the artist
is always subordinate to nature? Art is in harmony parallel
with nature.
Paul Cezanne |

We
are no longer collecting art, we are buying individuals.
Rene Ricard
Death means a lot of money, honey. Death can really make
you look like a star.

qUoTeS for mar17
The
position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a
channel.
Piet Mondrian
It is not the language of painters but the language of
nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the
things themselves, for reality, is more important than
the feeling for pictures.
Vincent Van Gogh |

ArT
qUoTeS for mar14
Don't
look for obscure formulas or mystery in my work. It is
pure joy that I offer you. Look at my sculptures until
you see them. Those closest to God have seen them.
Constantin Brancusi
When I was a kid, a book I read advised young artist to
be themselves. That decided it for me. I was a corny kind
of guy, so I went in for corn.
Walt Disney |

I
am in the world only for the purpose of composing.
Franz Schubert
My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I
will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can
for as long as I can. Drawing is still basically the same
as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together
man and the world. It lives through magic.
Keith Haring |

qUoTeS for mar10
I
am rather like a travelling salesman. I deal in ideas.
I do much more for people than just paint them pictures.
Martin Kippenberger
All my life I have worked to be able to earn my living,
but I thought that one could do good painting without
attracting attention to one's private life. Certainly,
an artist wishes to raise himself intellectually as much
as possible, but the man must remain obscure. The pleasure
must be found in the work.
Paul Cezanne |

The
only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is important to express oneself...provided the feelings
are real and are taken from you own experience.
Berthe Morisot |

qUoTeS for mar5
The
emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing
it. The strokes come like speech.
Vincent Van Gogh
"There are painters who transform the sun into a
yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their
art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the
sun."
Pablo Picasso |

"People
think that at the top there isn't much room. They tend
to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there
is tons of room at the top.."
Margaret Thatcher
"For the poet is a light winged and holy thing, and
there is no invention in him until he has been inspired
and is out of his senses and the mind is no longer with
him. When he has not attained this state he is powerless
and unable to utter his oracles."
Plato |
