Alice Neel Quotes

Nobody knows what makes good art. As an artist, when it happens, you’re grateful, and then you get on with it Picture Quote #1

When I was in my studio I didn’t give a damn what sex I was... I thought art is art Picture Quote #1

I paint; I’m a woman but I don’t paint china. The first time I got a canvas I felt free. Art is overreaction to life. I love these early drawings; they show my innocent beginnings in a small town. Life is a sentence -- you live it out. Maybe these portraits jump out at you too much. People like things that conform Picture Quote #1

I don’t paint like a woman is supposed to paint. Thank God, art doesn’t bother about things like that Picture Quote #1

Art is two things: a search for a road and a search for freedom Picture Quote #1

Lucky for me, as old as I am, I can still change Picture Quote #1

The place where I had freedom most was when I painted. I was completely and utterly myself Picture Quote #1

When I was in my studio I didn’t give a damn what sex I was... I thought art is art Picture Quote #1

The minute I sat in front of a canvas I was happy. Because it was a world, and I could do what I liked in it Picture Quote #1

You can’t leave humanity out. If you didn’t have humanity, you wouldn’t have anything Picture Quote #1

It’s a privilege, you know, to paint and it takes up a lot of time and it means there’s a lot of things you don’t do. But still, with me, painting was more than a profession, it was also an obsession. I had to paint Picture Quote #1

I thought you had to give up a lot for art, and you did. It required complete concentration. It also required that whatever money you had had to be put into art materials Picture Quote #1

You know it’s very hard to maintain a theory in the face of life that comes crashing about you Picture Quote #1

I know all the theory of everything but when I paint I don’t think of anything except the subject and me Picture Quote #1

If you’re sufficiently tenacious and interested, you can accomplish what you want to accomplish in this world Picture Quote #1

Whether I’m painting or not, I have this overweening interest in humanity. Even if I’m not working, I’m still analyzing people Picture Quote #1

You should keep on painting no matter how difficult it is, because this is all part of experience, and the more experience you have, the better it is... unless it kills you, and then you know you have gone too far Picture Quote #1
