Abstract Quotes

How many people become abstract as a way of appearing profound Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be an abstract painter, but I was rotten at it Picture Quote #1

We often judge cities by great public buildings. But we admire great cities because people live there in a beautiful way. You have to think about how each person will live there; you can’t just think about abstract ideas Picture Quote #1

Objective painting is not good painting unless it is good in the abstract sense Picture Quote #1

They are imbeciles who call my work abstract. That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things Picture Quote #1

I began to realize that an intuitive understanding and consciousness was more significant than abstract thinking and intellectual logical analysis. Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That’s had a big impact on my work Picture Quote #1

I feel it’s just some sort of game if it’s just abstract Picture Quote #1

Old ideas give way slowly; for they are more than abstract logical forms and categories, they are habits, predispositions, deeply ingrained attitudes of diversion and preference Picture Quote #1

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality Picture Quote #1

I suspect it was... the old story of the implacable necessity of a man having honour within his own natural spirit. A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour. There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest; and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security, its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree that may produce the most dangerous consequences Picture Quote #1

The very same brain centers that interpret and feel physical pain also become activated during experiences of emotional rejection. In brain scans, they light up in response to social ostracism, just as they would when triggered by physically harmful stimuli. When people speak of feeling hurt or of having emotional pain, they are not being abstract or poetic, but scientifically quite precise Picture Quote #1

My paintings are inspirational for they allow the observer to experience infinite viewpoints and perceptions. They are not abstract for they represent what is actually more real than what our eyes are able to see. They allow the viewers to be inspired by taking their own perception beyond their senses and their surroundings Picture Quote #1

Abstract understanding doesn’t mean arbitrary sloshing and messing. Abstract art is controlled visual magic based on laws and methodology. Abstraction generally involves implication, suggestion and mystery rather that obvious description. Like a good poem, a good abstraction attacks your feelings before your understanding. Abstraction within realism adds zest and excitement to otherwise dull subject matter. Abstract understanding takes time and patience Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that abstract form, imagery, color, texture, and material convey meaning equal to or greater than words Picture Quote #1

Liberty is not just an idea, an abstract principle. It is power, effective power to do specific things. There is no such thing as liberty in general; liberty, so to speak, at large Picture Quote #1

Abstract words are ancient coins whose concrete images in the give and take of talk have worn away with use Picture Quote #1

Black and white is a very minimalist art form and unlike color photographs does not pretend to mimic the world in a manner similar to the way the human eye might perceive... Black and white is essentially an abstract way to interpret and transform what one might refer to as reality Picture Quote #1

From the point of view of art, there are no concrete or abstract forms, but only forms which are more or less convincing lies Picture Quote #1

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract Picture Quote #1

Blue suggests the sea and sky, and they, after all, are in actual, visible nature what is most abstract Picture Quote #1

Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic Picture Quote #1

It is often my nature to be abstract, hidden in plain sight, or nowhere at all Picture Quote #1
