|
All
my efforts go into creating an art that
can be understood by everyone.
::: Henri
Matisse - quotes :::
When we speak of Nature it is wrong

to the entire universe.

Matisse - quotes ::: |

Delacroix :::

Chagall
is a greatly talented colourist and
devotes himself to anything his mystical,
pagan imagination impels him to. His
art is very sensual.

Apollinaire :::

I thought, mere glittering quicksilver,
a blue soul breaking in upon my pictures.
::: Marc
Chagall ::: |

Never
settle for anything less than your best.

been useful to him, the confirmation
of my own original ideas about painting.

remembrance that one finds others unhappier
than oneself.
::: Paul
Gauguin ::: |

all a big game of construction, some
with a brush, some with a shovel, some
choose a pen.

it and time taking care of it.

I
certainly hope to sell in the course

the public would be pretty useless.

People
love mystery, and that is why they love
my paintings.
::: Salvador
Dali - quotes :::
There comes a point where you see it
all as completely empty being a popular
artist to the extent that people who
are not necessarily interested in art
know about things or take some little
interest. I think that now for me it's
a burden. It's a bit hard to deal with
and it wastes time as well.
