Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things Edgar Degas Who sees
the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter? Pablo Picasso Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen Leonardo da Vinci Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it? Pablo Picasso When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk you'll end up as the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. An icon painter starts not with Jesus Christ but by finding earth and rubbing. Now what is earth, what are you rubbing in directing? Peter Brook Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

There are six essentials in painting: The first is spirit; the second, rhythm; the third, thought; the fourth, scenery; the fifth, the brush; and the last is the ink. (Ching Hao) A.D. 5th century... The painters of old painted the idea and not merely the shape. (Hsieh Ho) In every painting a whole is mysteriously enclosed, a whole life of tortures, doubts, of hours of enthusiasm and inspiration. (Wassily Kandinsky) The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen. (Paul Klee) I paint in order not to cry. (Paul Klee) Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures. (Andre Malraux) Share this quote with a friend More quotes by Andre Malraux No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.

Painting is the grandchild of nature. It is related to God. (Rembrandt)

last words about painting, age 78... I think I'm beginning to learn something about it. (Pierre-Auguste Renoir) The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting. (Vincent van Gogh) In my opinion painters owe to Giotto, the Florentine painter, exactly the same debt they owe to nature, which constantly serves them as a model and whose finest and most beautiful aspects they are always striving to imitate and reproduce. (Giorgio Vasari) Poetry is superior to painting in the presentation of words, and painting is superior to poetry in the presentation of facts. For this reason I judge painting to be superior to poetry. (Leonardo da Vinci)
