Artist Quotations <<< L >>> |

Larwill Quotes | :::
Australian Painter ::: | |
|
+ Make sure you love art and don't do it if you don't, because you'll be found
out. Don't listen to the teachers. And feel it. Do it because you can't do anything
else. Once you've decided, don't do anything else, because as someone once said,
"art is long". | | |
| +
Picasso wouldn't have
churned out the same number of documented works of art as the days he lived on
earth if he hadn't been obsessed. If Beethoven hadn't been obsessed with music
he probably would have given the game away when he realised he was deaf. |
| |
| +
Above all, it is a matter of loving art, not understanding it. |
| |
+
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.
+ Poor
is the pupil who does not surpass his master. | |
|
| +
For me, spirit is the impulse towards life, the Eros in a person leaping forward,
whereas soul refers to something possibly long.. suffering, where meanings are
made, where there is a sense of this gathering of perceptions, that our death
is not the most important thing, nor our life. | |
|
+ Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. There is almost
nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too
many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that
color has with forms, and the statement you're trying to make.
+ Personally,
I feel that in my own work I wanted to look programmed or impersonal but I don't
really believe I am being impersonal when I do it. And I don't think you could
do this.
+ I'm not really sure what social message my art carries, if any.
And I don't really want it to carry one. I'm not interested in the subject matter
to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way. |
