Text Quotes
You think you’re developing and getting better and then you see something you did years ago. Looking at your early work.. sometimes it has a depth that surprises you.  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I get letters from people about my work. The thing that pleases me most is that my work touches their feelings. In fact, they don’t talk about the paintings. They end up telling me the story of their life or how their father died.  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) It’s all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I’m a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... It would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) My pencil is like a fencer’s foil  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) God, I’ve frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) What you have to do is break all the rules  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) One’s art goes as far and as deep as one’s love goes  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) It’s a shock for me to go through and see all those years of painting my life, which is very personal for me. It’s a very difficult thing for an artist to look back at his work  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I’ve tried never to be easily satisfied, and I’ve been painting like fury now for forty years... I have a feeling. You paint about as far as your emotions go, and that’s about it  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) If somehow I can, before I leave this earth, combine my absolutely mad freedom and excitement with truth, then I will have done something  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) My aim is not to exhibit craft, but rather to submerge it, and make it rightfully the handmaiden of beauty, power and emotional content  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I think anything like that which is contemplative, silent, shows a person alone people always feel is sad. Is it because we’ve lost the art of being alone?  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) Well, being the youngest child and frail, I was left alone a great deal of the time  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I had whooping cough when I was very young, which left me with bronchial problems, and I would always pick up colds. I was very thin and nervous so my father and mother took me out of school and had me tutored at home  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) You think you’re developing and getting better and then you see something you did years ago. Looking at your early work.. sometimes it has a depth that surprises you  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) When you show it to someone, if they like it, you’re stopped, and if they dislike it you’re stopped either way  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I don’t think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I can't work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth; and then I can fly free  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) It’s all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I don’t really have studios. I wander around around people’s attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I dream a lot. I do more painting when I’m not painting. It’s in the subconscious  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes) If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window  (Andrew Wyeth Quotes)
