A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.
Paul Cezanne

Artist - musicians, painters, writers, poets, always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life.
Billy Joel

At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.
Brian Eno

But I was in awe of the painters; I mean I was new in New York, and I thought the painting that was going on here was just unbelievable.
Robert Rauschenberg

David is purely a conceptual artist. He didn't play any instruments or paint or anything. We were painters.
Tina Weymouth

Digital art software has empowered both the painterly side of photographers, and the photographer side of painters.
Buffy Sainte-Marie

Filmmakers are going to make films, just like painters are going to paint.
Richard Linklater

Good art theory must smell of the studio, although its language should differ from the household talk of painters and sculptors.
Rudolf Arnheim

I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.
Chuck Close

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 do not think men have more talent. There are a great many women in the arts; novelists, painters, sculptors, poets-but the proportion is far lower in the field of song writing.
Dorothy Fields

I have been criticized rather strenuously by painters and sculptors for not incorporating their work in our buildings.
Minoru Yamasaki

I like all those painters who loved and had a strong feeling for nature.
Alfred Sisley

I like the fact that in ancient Chinese art the great painters always included a deliberate flaw in their work: human creation is never perfect.
Madeleine L'Engle

I like to move among painters, mathematicians, psychologists, people who can tell me something.
George Woodcock

I make movies just as painters paint: I work where I can.
Jean-Jacques Annaud

I paint German artists whom I admire. I paint their pictures, their work as painters, and their portraits too. But oddly enough, each of these portraits ends up as a picture of a woman with blonde hair. I myself have never been able to work out why this happens.
Georg Baselitz

I take this art very seriously and passionately. I love what I do. You can't help but grow. That's not to say you don't make mistakes or make bad choices, but that's part of the art. Painters paint bad paintings.
Christopher Meloni

I think that most people think painters are kind of ridiculous, you know?
Roy Lichtenstein

I took to wearing a black tie known as the Ascot, with long drooping ends. I had seen pictures of painters, sculptors, poets, wearing this style of tie.
Carl Sandburg
