“The most important thing in art is the frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively - because, without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins. You have to put a "box" around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall?”
Frank Zappa
“I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.”
Vincent van Gogh
“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can”
Danny Kaye
“I consciously choose the dog's path through life. I shall be poor; I shall be a painter...”
“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
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
Edgar Degas
“Life is a work of art--if you don't like what you see, paint over it.”
