  Anne Geddes Quotes - Women - Photographers
• I have a deep love and respect for children and I cannot imagine photographic life without them playing a major part. I hope that through my work as a photographer, I have been able to pass on my appreciation of their beauty and charm.
  Anne Geddes Quotes - Women - Photographers
• My idea of a perfect image is where I have created a beautiful environment, and the baby has given something of its personality. That extra spark in the image is always supplied by the baby. When you look at one of my images, your eye is always drawn to the baby's face, regardless of how complicated the setting is. The babies are always the most important aspect of the image, and so they should be.
  Anne Geddes Quotes - Women - Photographers
• I am a night painter, so when I come into the studio the next morning the delirium is over. I come into the studio very fearfully, I creep in to see what happened the night before. And the feeling is one of, "My God, did I do that?".

  Philip Guston Quotes - Artists
• I just wanted to find out where the boundaries were. I've found out there aren't any. I wanted to be stopped but no one will stop me.
  Damien Hirst Quotes - British Artists
  
• It works much better than I imagined. I was slightly worried that we'd end up with an Ali G ring. (Hirst talking about his diamond skull work)
  Damien Hirst Quotes - British Artists
  
• I was brought up a Catholic, but I don’t believe in God. I think I’m an atheist. Hardcore atheist. I’m trying to be a hardcore atheist, and then I keep making work like this.
  Damien Hirst Quotes - British Artists
  
• I did a load of medicine cabinets a long time ago and I named them after Sex Pistols songs. I suppose I must be getting old if I’m naming work after Philip Larkin poems.
  Damien Hirst Quotes - British Artists

  Paul Klee Quotes - my art - Artists
• My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.
  Claude Monet Quotes - Artists
• For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art. Without anxiety and illness I should have been like a ship without a rudder.
  Edvard Munch Quotes - Artists
• My whole life has been spent walking by the side of a bottomless chasm, jumping from stone to stone. Somtimes I try to leave my narrow path and join the swirling mainstream of life, but I always find myself drawn inexorably back towards the chasm's edge, and there I shall walk until the day I finally fall into the abyss. For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art. Without anxiety and illness I should have been like a ship without a rudder.
  Edvard Munch Quotes - Artists
• I now have a strong reaction against the exposed female body. Nudes will no longer be a subject for me.. though I might regret saying that the next time I see a beautiful girl on the beach.

• I don't say everything, but I paint everything.
  Pablo Picasso Quotes - Spanish Artists
• The fact that people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate those basic human emotions.. the people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when painting them. And if you say you are moved only by their color relationships then you miss the point.
  Mark Rothko Quotes - Artists
• Since my pictures are large, colorful and unframed, and since museum walls are usually immense and formidable, there is the danger that the pictures relate themselves as decorative areas to the walls. This would be a distortion of their meaning, since the pictures are intimate and intense, and are the opposite of what is decorative.
  Mark Rothko Quotes - Artists
• I've been living with a lot of negativity for the past 15 years, but it never impacted on my work, or my way of working. It's like a rhinoceros with birds shitting on its back. It stopped me getting comfortable but it never worried me.
  Julian Schnabel Quotes - Artists
• Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That's how I get my kicks.
  Donald Trump Quotes - my art - Business People

  Vincent van Gogh Quotes - Artists
• I see more and more that my work goes infinitely better when I am properly fed, and the paints are there, and the studio and all that. But have I set my heart on my work being a success? A thousand times no. I wish I could manage to make you really understand that when you give money to artists, you are yourself doing an artist's work, and that I only want my pictures to be of such a quality that you will not be too dissatisfied with your work.
  Vincent van Gogh Quotes - Artists
• If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, there I am. There's nothing behind it.
