“I write because I write - as anyone in the arts does. You're a painter because you feel you have no choice but to paint. You're a writer because this is what you do.”
Richard Price
“Bad art is a great deal worse than no art at all.”
Oscar Wilde
“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.”
“I enjoy art anyone can afford. The gallery is the sky and the painter - the lord.”
Joe Kregor
“No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.”
John Ruskin
“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
“If you're a painter, you're not alone. There's no way to be alone.”
Franz Kline
