Painting Quotes

I am so longing to be domestic,, cooking stew, gardening, hopefully having some children, painting, sitting still in one place Picture Quote #1

If I revise a children’s book, if I’m spending three hours on the first draft, I’m probably spending 30 minutes revising it. I mean, come on! But to redo a painting? That’s hard work Picture Quote #1

In traditional Asian arts, the word and the picture always sit next to each other. I have an aunt, a Chinese brush painter, who told me that when you do a Chinese brush painting, you have to pair the image up with some poetry Picture Quote #1

There was a belief after World War I that painting could be an act of civil revolt. I want this exhibition, ‘New Museum,’ to be an act of civil disobedience. It’s not so much about the New Museum on the Bowery, but the idea of challenging museums as projections of cultural authority. It’s painting as insurgency Picture Quote #1

You never realize how much your mother loves you till you explore the attic - and find every letter you ever sent her, every finger painting, clay pot, bead necklace, Easter chicken, cardboard Santa Claus, paperlace Mother’s Day card and school report since day one Picture Quote #1

You try to tap into a memory and you close your eyes and it comes back. So I was doing this in the painting and then that became a practice of mine. Sometimes it was a cathartic situation, a way to meditate Picture Quote #1

I needed an outlet in high school and came across painting. I’ve actually been painting longer than I’ve been acting. A movie is a collaborative effort, and with painting you just have yourself Picture Quote #1

I spent much of my college life prepping for other careers, but I was always drawing and painting whenever I had free time. Eventually, thanks to the internet, I started noticing that there were such things as art schools, and professional artists, and people making a living doing a variety of types of art Picture Quote #1

I love painting. I went to college in fine arts, and I still do it all the time Picture Quote #1

I kind of do the drawing with the painting in mind, but it’s very hard to guess at a size or a color and all the colors around it and what it will really look like Picture Quote #1

For example, in painting the form arises from abstract elements of line and color, while in cinema the material concreteness of the image within the frame presents - as an element - the greatest difficulty in manipulation Picture Quote #1

When you’re telling stories, you are actually trying to illuminate some portion of the truth in an artful way. The story may immediately seem to be a lie, but it’s like an impressionistic painting - you see the light and the color better than you would with a photo-realistic piece Picture Quote #1

Painting dissolves the forms at its command ... it melts them into color Picture Quote #1

There are people who don’t respond to color. That’s what painting is. It’s color Picture Quote #1

A great painting is something that you can come back to again and again Picture Quote #1

Any artist, the work you do, if it’s a painting or if it’s a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else’s life. That’s what’s fun about sharing art Picture Quote #1

A painting has a lot of advantages over other forms of communication. Unlike a movie, you don’t have to put it into a machine and turn it on. It’s just there every day. It’s not limited by the element of time. It’s a constant part of the home Picture Quote #1

I tell my workshop students, ‘I want you to think of yourselves as artists. Then, when you’re writing, you’re painting, you’re crafting, you’re making a design, you’re sculpting, you’re creating choreography, sound, a sound script.’ Picture Quote #1

Cinema informed my painting by the sheer geography - on locations, there is so much downtime. And when you’re spending all this time creating art by committee, the concept of the singular voice is a pleasant antidote Picture Quote #1

I’m painting so much that I don’t listen to much music. Because music is another creative outlet, it’s a huge distraction for me when I paint Picture Quote #1

You can be creative in anything - in math, science, engineering, philosophy - as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance Picture Quote #1
