Willem De Kooning Quotes

The idea of space is given to the artist to change if he can. The subject matter in the abstract is space Picture Quote #1

If you’re an artist, the problem is to make a picture work whether you are happy or not Picture Quote #1

Maybe in that earlier phase I was painting the woman in me. Art isn’t a wholly masculine occupation, you know Picture Quote #1

I see the canvas and I begin... It’s a necessary evil to get into the work, and it’s pretty marvelous to be able to get out of it Picture Quote #1

What you do when you paint, you take a brush full of paint, get paint on the picture, and you have faith Picture Quote #1

Im not someone whos ever said anything definitive about his work. In my life also I have very little fixed form. I can change overnight Picture Quote #1

Yes, I am influenced by everbody. But every time I put my hands in my pockets I find someone else’s fingers there Picture Quote #1

The drawings that interest me most are made with closed eyes. With eyes closed, I feel my hand slide down on the paper. I have an image in mind, but the results always surprise me Picture Quote #1

Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists Picture Quote #1

My interest in desperation lies only in that sometimes I find myself having become desperate. Very seldom do I start out that way. I can see of course that, in the abstract, thinking and all activity is rather desperate Picture Quote #1
