A great artist can paint a great picture on a small canvas.
Charles Dudley Warner

A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music, and you provide the silence.

An actor is an actor is an actor. The less personality an actor has off stage the better. A blank canvas on which to draw the characters he plays.

Wassily Kandinsky

An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg

And I usually use myself as a model, posing in front of a mirror as I dab the strokes on the canvas.

I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.
Edward Hopper

I came to feel very, very sentimental about those sets, which is ludicrous, because they represent everything which is transitory and insubstantial. It's absurd that one should feel sentimental about timber and canvas.
Patrick Stewart

I deliberately, in a way, went for something that was a huge challenge and was a big period film. I was excited about the canvas on which I could tell the story as much as the story itself.
Sam Mendes

I don't like poetry that just slaps violent words on a canvas, as it were.
Anne Stevenson

I get to experiment with a lot of looks with my character so that's really fun for me. It's like getting to paint a new canvas everyday.
Sophia Bush
