Sculptor Quotes

The sculptor will chip off all unnecessary material to set free the angel. Nature will chip and pound us remorselessly to bring out our possibilities. She will strip us of wealth, humble our pride, humiliate our ambition, let us down from the ladder of fame, will discipline us in a thousand ways, if she can develop a little character. Everything must give way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing, manhood is everything Picture Quote #1

The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as if being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says Picture Quote #1

In building a statue, a sculptor doesn’t keep adding clay to his subject. Actually, he keeps chiseling away at the nonessentials until the truth of his creation is revealed without obstruction Picture Quote #1

With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects - the building is there to be used, and times change Picture Quote #1

The great poet is a great artist. He is painter and sculptor. The greatest pictures and statues have been painted and chiseled with words. They outlast all others Picture Quote #1

To become a painter or a sculptor or a graphic designer is quite an isolated way to spend your life Picture Quote #1

One can easily tell that the creator of the paintings in the Sistine Chapel was above all a sculptor Picture Quote #1

I’ve had shows as a painter, as a photographer, I’ve done shows as a sculptor. I’ve done a lot of different things and it all comes from experiences that you have in your life, in your creative environment. They all help - I don’t even know if they help; maybe they make it worse but they all influence each other, for sure Picture Quote #1

I work a little bit like a sculptor. When I start, my first idea for a building is with the material. I believe architecture is about that. It’s not about paper, it’s not about forms. It’s about space and material Picture Quote #1

Some directors were brilliant in the silent era but never felt at home in sound. It’s like a sculptor being forced to take up painting Picture Quote #1

The idea of being a painter, I’ve always thought, is better than being an artist or a sculptor Picture Quote #1

The artist must be a philosopher. Socrates the skilled sculptor, Jean-Jacques [Rousseau] the good musician, and the immortal Poussin, tracing on the canvas the sublime lessons of philosophy, are so many proofs that an artistic genius should have no other guide except the torch of reason Picture Quote #1

You can’t understand how strange it was to be a sculptor who exhibited photographs. (On exhibitions of his earthworks and land art pieces.) Picture Quote #1

The sculptor Frosty Myers and I met when we were bidding against each other at an auction. He’s an eccentric, a liberal with a collection of rifles, and his stuff is big art. We share a love of tractors. I’m trading him one for a piece of art Picture Quote #1

I do not forget that I am a mechanic. I am proud to own it. Neither do I forget that the apostle Paul was a tentmaker; Socrates was a sculptor; and Archimedes was a mechanic Picture Quote #1

My dad’s great. He’s an amazing artist. A sculptor. He’s wonderful and supportive. I love going to museums with him - we talk about... everything Picture Quote #1

Emmitt Smith has run past legends, danced with stars and posed for the sculptor crafting his Hall of Fame bust. Hes built upon his athletic talents by working hard, seizing opportunities and reaching out to others for advice when he needed it Picture Quote #1

The sculptor does not work for the anatomist, but for the common observer of life and nature Picture Quote #1

The sculptor represents the transition from one pose to another he indicates how insensibly the first glides into the second. In his work we still see a part of what was and we discover a part of what is to be Picture Quote #1

In creation myths, a God shapes mud or clay into living form, much like a potter throws a pot or a sculptor reveals the statue within a block of marble. But a writer has to create his own clay or stone before he can begin shaping life from it Picture Quote #1

Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful as yet, do as the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful; the sculptor cuts away here, smoothes there, makes this line lighter, this other purer, until he or she has shown a beautiful face upon the statue Picture Quote #1

Light is the photographic medium par excellence; it is to the photographer what words are to the writer; color and paint to the painter; wood, metal, stone, or clay to the sculptor Picture Quote #1

The great black and white draftsman, the sculptor, and the blind man know that form and color are separate. The form itself is what the blind man knows... Color is surface skin that fits over the form Picture Quote #1

The best sculptor is the one who can most accurately reproduce in marble the image that he sees before him. The good cook follows the recipe. The pharmacist can utilize the many years of training of the most famous doctors from the best medical schools, if he just knows how to follow a prescription. Someone has said that science is just a collection of successful formulas Picture Quote #1

I create my subjects somehow visualizing them in my style. I start as a poet, put the colors and composition down on canvas as a painter, but finish my work as a sculptor taking delight in caressing the forms Picture Quote #1

When you make something, if you are a painter or a writer, a degree, or a sculptor or whatever or a musician, a degree of energy is required to make it, and I’m not sure that it is always aggressive, but when you have a great deal of energy it can appear to be more aggressive than it is. In fact, I mean you can talk about a waterfall being aggressive, but in fact it is just a very powerful forward movement of energy, and although I think sometimes my engine house is a kind of anger Picture Quote #1

Carving is a source of joy to the artist... To attack the raw material, gradually to extract a shape out of it following one’s own desire, or, sometimes, the inspiration of the material itself: this gives the sculptor great joy Picture Quote #1

The poet, the painter, the sculptor, the musican, the architect, seek each to concentrate this radiance of the world on one point, and each in his several work to satisfy the love of beauty which stimulates him to produce Picture Quote #1
