“I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.”
Claude Monet
“I am following Nature without being able to grasp her...I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.”
“I was a painter, perhaps, but I am not any longer a painter. I didn't paint for many, many years - but at least two or three decades.”
Arnold Schoenberg
“Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.”
Paul Cezanne
“I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.”
Chuck Close
“Most of our modern portrait painters are doomed to absolute oblivion. They never paint what they see. They paint what the public sees, and the public never sees anything.”
Oscar Wilde
“The painter constructs, the photographer discloses.”
Susan Sontag
