I never knew any painter worthy of the name who paid the smallest attention to what a critic says, even in conversation.

A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it.
Computers have taken so much drudgery out of it. Just one to mention, painting the picture. It used to be that everything was wet, everything was with a brush. Everything was wiggle it in water, wipe out your brush, get a new jar of paint, spill the paint, mop it up.
Drawing the inside does concern me a little because the rail can often be off.
There is little empirical evidence on the best approaches to setting goals, and further investigation is critical. However, states can take a number of steps now, drawing on best practices from business, other school improvement strategies, and just plain common sense.
We will approach the next campaign with a lot more confidence, ... and hopefully we'll get there the next time. This time it wasn't good enough but I don't think you can say we need to go back to the drawing board. Anyone who says that is just being outrageous. It would be outrageous to come out with something like that after the progress we have made under Walter.
My friends tend to be writers. I think writers and painters are really all the same-we just sit in our rooms.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.
That's a situation where we need to fight and hold them to three instead of a touchdown. That's part of football. You have to be ready for those situations. We didn't do it. But we have an opportunity to go right back to the drawing board.
The paintings may communicate even better because people are lazy and they can look at a painting with less effort than they can read a poem.
I want to give my compliments to Australia. Ever since your government paid a few million dollars for a Jackson Pollack painting, I figure that it must be a marvellous country.
Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues.
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.
When I'm painting the picture, I'm really painting a picture. I may have a flat-footed technique, or something like that, but still, to me, the thrill, or the meat of the thing, is the actual painting. I don't get any thrill out of laying it out.
I was a student at Harvard, and that's where I learned about so-called avant-garde music. Jackson Pollock, abstract expressionism and painting were well known at this time.
If the world could remain within a frame like a painting on the wall, I think we'd see the beauty then and stand staring in awe.
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
Many times I asked myself, 'Who is a painter in your own eyes?'
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
Despite the potential benefits, there are community concerns that we need time to address. This is too large and complicated a project to rush off the drawing board.
Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.
I hope to be a producer, a musician, a painter, a photographer - I'm going to push myself to do as many things as I can and see where it goes.
Whereas painting is a more rarefied art form, with a limited audience, I recognized film as this extraordinary social tool that could reach tremendous numbers of people.
The art of drawing conclusions from experiments and observations consists in evaluating probabilities and in estimating whether they are sufficiently great or numerous enough to constitute proofs. This kind of calculation is more complicated and more difficult than it is commonly thought to be....
And I like the idea of change. Because I don't see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it's there like a piece of furniture.
An old priest told me this story. 'Centuries ago a great artist was engaged to paint a mural for the cathedral in a Sicilian town. The subject was the life of Christ. For many years the artist labored diligently, and finally the painting was finished exce.
My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.
When Picasso painted in Paris, was he a Spanish or a French painter? It does not matter, he was Picasso, whatever the influences surrounding him. He simply chose Paris because it was the ideal place for him to sell his creation.
In the Amish country, the average price is between 1,000 and 1,500. Art quilts can go for much more than that, just like an artist's oil painting. Handmade quilts are more valuable than machine-made quilts. Some of them take six months to a year to make.
I'm going back to the drawing board and pray and give it serious thought.
When we watch hockey games and see 8,000 fans in (Washington) D.C., you cringe as a player, ... Those cities that aren't pulling their weight in terms of drawing fans and revenue are hurting everybody as a whole, not just that city.
The anarchist painter is not the one who will create anarchist pictures, but the one who will fight with all his individuality against official conventions.
What is the use of good painting? We want a spell cast upon the optical part of our existence! We seldom really see the world, but when we do, we become as still as a picture.
The only valid thing in art is the one thing that cannot be explained, to explain away the mystery of a great painting would do irreplaceable harm, for whenever you explain or define something you substitute the explanation or the definition for the
With a painting, you don't have to go back and paint it again.
It was a game where I thought both teams played hard. I think Matt Painter is doing a just unbelievable job. You lose four starters and you can still put a team on the floor that competes and plays hard and causes problems. I don't know another team in the country that can lose four starters and compete at all.
Now I did do later drawings where I tried putting fingers on them but it never looked right to me they weren't as appealing as that first drawing.
Do not go overboard and get trapped into a situation that can be used by elements bent on painting an image of Indonesia's Islam as an intolerant, rigid and anarchic society.
He's really quite an incredible guy, ... He was very excited when he learned his painting would be in the (Princeton University Art Museum) gallery.
Maybe he's only a little bit crazy, like painters, or composers, or some of those men in Washington.
Everybody thinks they know what art should be. But very few of them have the sense that is necessary to experience painting, that is the sense of sight, that sees colors and forms as living reality in the picture.
To say to the painter that Nature is to be taken as she is, is to say to the player that he may sit on the piano.
A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth.
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
A painting is like a man. If you can live without it, then there isn't much point in having it.
As in painting, so in poetry.
I had a discussion with the editor of the magazine and he said that he wanted to have a painting that would represent mankind - mankind meaning, of course, a man and a woman. We discussed the whole thing, I did some sketches and we came up with the drawin
