+ I think that in the last twenty years or
so, there's been a new kind of honesty in
painting where painters have been very proud
of paint and have let it behave openly. |

Redon quotes |
:::

|
|
|
+ While I recognize the necessity for a basis
of observed reality - true art lies in a reality
that is felt. |
|
|
+ Choose only one master - Nature.
+ Painting is the grandchild of nature. It
is related to God.
+ Practise what you know, and it will help
to make clear what now you do not know. |

Every change is a form of liberation. My mother
used to say a change is always good even if
it's for the worse. |
|
|
|
+ You come to nature with all her theories,
and she knocks them all flat. |
|
|
| +
I can't always reach the image in my mind..
almost never, in fact.. so that the abstract
image I create is not quite there, but it
gets to the point where I can leave it. |
|
|

For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism
of visual forces.. an event rather than an
appearance. These forces can only be tackled
by treating color and form as ultimate identities,
freeing them from all descriptive or functional
roles. |
|
|
|
+ I've never believed in God, but I believe
in Picasso. |
|
|
| +
The sculptor represents the transition from
one pose to another.. he indicates how insensibly
the first glides into the second. In his work
we still see a part of what was and we discover
a part of what is to be. |

I tell young people that the greatest paintings
in museums are made with minerals mixed in
oil schmeared on cloth with the hair from
the back of a pig's ear. It's that simple. |
|
|
|
+ Sometimes the painting starts to relate
very directly to either sights seen or experiences
felt, other times it just goes off on a tangent
that you really can’t articulate. |
|
|
|
+ It is a widely accepted notion among painters
that it does not matter what one paints as
long as it is well painted. This is the essence
of academicism. There is no such thing as
good painting about nothing. |
| Georges
Rouault quotes |
:::
famous artist :::
|
|
|
+ For me, painting is a way to forget life.
It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh. |
|
|
|
+ When I go out into the countryside and see
the sun and the green and everything flowering,
I say to myself "Yes indeed, all that
belongs to me!". |
