"Creativity is more important than knowledge."

Albert Einstein

Whether I'm painting or not, I have this overweening interest in humanity. Even if I'm not working, I'm still analyzing people.
::: Alice Neel :::
When I work, I work very fast, but preparing to work can take any length of time., moods which I have always valued above all else.
::: Giorgio Morandi :::
A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing.
::: William Dobell :::
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
::: Banksy :::
I'm trying to create flesh architecture. I aim to get a sculptural feel for groups of bodies, as well as create performance art.
::: Spencer Tunick :::
Painting is a language which cannot be replaced by another language. I don’t know what to say about what I paint, really.
::: Balthus :::

There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it.
::: Henry Moore :::
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
::: Renoir :::
I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.
::: Mark Rothko :::
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
::: Damien Hirst :::
Reason is powerless in the expression of Love.
::: Rumi :::
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
::: Michelangelo :::
Believe it or not, I can actually draw.
::: Jean Michel Basquiat :::
Man can't do without God. Just like you're thirsty, you have to drink water. You just can't go without God.
::: Bob Marley :::
O great creator of being grant us one more hour to perform our art and perfect our lives.
::: Jim Morrison :::
