Sculpture Quotes

Writing is an exercise in sculpture, chipping away at the rock until you find the nose Picture Quote #1

I don’t play the lottery. I don’t care what my horoscope says. I think most things about the world could be improved if people thought more about what they’re doing. When someone gets upset with their computer, I tend to side with the computer. I think art is overrated, and bridges are underrated. In fact, I don’t understand why bridges aren’t art. It seems to me they’re penalized for having a use. If I make a bridge that ends in midair, that’s a sculpture. But put it between two landmasses and let it ferry two hundred thousand cars per day and it’s infrastructure. That makes no sense Picture Quote #1

Most of the arts, as painting, sculpture, and music, have emotional appeal to the general public. This is because these arts can be experienced by some one or more of our senses. Such is not true of the art of mathematics; this art can be appreciated only by mathematicians, and to become a mathematician requires a long period of intensive training. The community of mathematicians is similar to an imaginary community of musical composers whose only satisfaction is obtained by the interchange among themselves of the musical scores they compose Picture Quote #1

That sculpture is more admirable than painting for the reason that it contains relief and painting does not is completely false... Rather, how much more admirable the painting must be considered, if having no relief at all, it appears to have as much as sculpture! Picture Quote #1

The first snow always startles. It covers the tricycle in the driveway, turning its frame into an abstact sculpture that says: See how quickly yesterday turns into today Picture Quote #1

We search out the most perfect pieces of rock. It’s so amazing that these formations are so perfect for climbing on. It’s almost as if they were created for climbing. You’re taking these random rock formations and you’re bringing to it this interaction. It transforms it from being this random rock into almost this piece of art. It’s almost like a sculpture or something. Just by finding the handholds, finding that line up the rock. Every climb is different, has its own unique set of movements and body positions. Climbing and my appreciation for nature are totally intertwined Picture Quote #1

It is a great privilege to be able to work with, and I suppose work off, my feelings through sculpture Picture Quote #1

I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it’s very physical Picture Quote #1

Somebody informed me recently that the key to every art, from writing to gardening to sculpture, is creativity. I beg to differ Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people damage paintings or sculpture because they love it. They throw their arms around a statue in a fit of hysterical passion and it falls over Picture Quote #1

A painting or sculpture not modelled on any real object is every bit as concrete and sensuous as a leaf or a stone... but it is an incomplete art which privileges the intellect to the detriment of the senses Picture Quote #1

The art of sculpture is long ago perished to any real effect... it is the game of a rude and youthful people, and not the manly labour of a wise and spiritual nation Picture Quote #1

Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind Picture Quote #1

Be it sculpture, poetry, or narrative fraught with terrible insight... art does endure. It troubles and pleases, inspires, and reminds us that humanity is ever capable of adding to the sum of the world’s grave beauty Picture Quote #1

I find drawing a useful outlet for ideas for which there is not time enough to realize as sculpture... And I sometimes draw just for its own enjoyment Picture Quote #1

Sculpture is an art of the open air... I would rather have a piece of my sculpture put in a landscape, almost any landscape, than in, or on, the most beautiful building I know Picture Quote #1

In my opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form, animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture Picture Quote #1

Each artist comes to the painting or sculpture because there he can be told that he, the individual, transcends all classes and flouts all predictions. In the work of art, he finds his uniqueness confirmed Picture Quote #1

Until film is just as easily accessible as a pen or pencil, then it’s not completely an art form. In painting you can just pick up a piece of chalk, a stick or whatever. In sculpture you can get a rock. Writing you just need a pencil and paper Picture Quote #1

Sculpture is for the touch, painting is for the eye. I wanted to make a sculpture for the eye and a painting for the touch Picture Quote #1

When I moved into making sculpture, I could handle steel the way it had been handled in the technological revolution. I could use it the way bridge builders used it; I could use it the way they used it in industry and building and not the way it had been used in art Picture Quote #1

I say that the art of sculpture is eight times as great as any other art based on drawing, because a statue has eight views and they must all be equally good Picture Quote #1

I can only think of a handful of artists that can make a funny painting or a funny sculpture without it feeling coined in someway Picture Quote #1

My sculpture thrives in the context of the city, interacting with people in the course of their daily lives Picture Quote #1

If an artist has no experience before he makes a painting or a sculpture, he is not an artist Picture Quote #1

Food is exacting. The face is truly a canvas upon which our food choices paint an accurate picture. The body is truly a sculpture, chiseled and polished by our food choices Picture Quote #1

When a poem says something that could not have been said in any other way, in music, prose, sculpture, movement or paint, then it is poetry Picture Quote #1

A painting is merely the image of a tree, a man, or any other object reflected in a fountain. The difference between a painting and sculpture is the difference between a shadow and the thing which casts it Picture Quote #1

The paintings to me are always canvas; sculpture has always been metal, though I have made sculpture in wood, also Picture Quote #1

Bicycles are pieces of art. You get that combination of kinetic engineering, but then, besides the welds, the paint jobs, the kind of the sculpture of it all is quite beautiful. Bikes have such great lines, and all different styles Picture Quote #1
