I love the quote by Judi Dench - my favourites are numbers 1, 6 and 18. Which do you like? And what do you think of the list? And do you have any quotes you'd like to see in here?
- Painting calmed the chaos that shook my soul. Niki de St. Phalle
- Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen. Pablo Picasso
- I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for. Georgia O'Keefe
-
Change is not indecision. Chris Ofili
- I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist; or I'd draw a big ram's head, really messy. I'd never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect Spiderman. Jean-Michel Basquiat
- It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting. Albert Camus
-
Painting completed my life. Frida Kahlo
- Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion. Vincent Van Gogh
- No matter what you’re saying, people are going to tell you that there’s no need for you to say it. There’s no need for you to paint; there’s no need for you to photograph; there’s no need for you to write music, because in some way, shape or form, you’re not going to be changing anything. That’s all a big bargain game to make sure you never overstep your mark, never go out of yourself, never breach your remit as a woman working as a creative. So persevere to make sure you never let anybody tell you that you don’t have a place in art. Sunayana Bhargava
- In painting feathers, you want to create the look of feathers, but if you try to paint all the feathers, you have nothing but disaster. John O'Neill
- Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity. Damien Hirst
- At the point where I'm trying to force something and it's not happening, and I'm getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar. Joni Mitchell
- I'm still very sure that painting is one of the most basic human capacities, like dancing and singing, that make sense, that stay with us, as something human. Gerhard Richter
- I paint my tears, my screams, my rage and outrage into something beautiful and moving. Asya Abdrahman
- I love painting so much that nothing else matters. Yayoi Kusama
- When I go to an art gallery and stand in front of a painting, I don't want someone telling me what I should be seeing or thinking; I want to feel whatever I feel, see whatever I see, and figure out what I figure out. James Frey
- I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture. David Hockney
- I've always loved painting, although I never show anyone what I've done. Mainly because I don't do it well. But it's like a form of visual diary for me. A way of fixing things in my mind. Judi Dench
- There's something really cool about taking oily coloured paste and pushing it around with these hairy sticks and making something that looks like you. That's the magic of painting. Kehinde Wiley
- When I finish a painting, it usually looks as surprising to me as to anyone else. Howard Hodgkin
