Andrew Wyeth

I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting, something connected to the fine arts.
Catherine Deneuve

My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.
Rene Magritte

To the humblest among them, who may be listening to me now, I want to say that the masterpiece to which you are paying historic homage this evening is a painting which he has saved.

Edouard Manet

But where there is no art show, I would still be painting.
Tony Curtis

I found I have to stay painting.

I think you have to control the materials to an extent, but it's important to let the materials have a kind of power for themselves; like the natural power of gravity, if you are painting on a wall, it makes the paint trickle and it drips; there is no reason to fight that.
Keith Haring

It's Frank's painting on the cover. We were originally going to use a Salvador Dali painting that we got permission from Salvador Dali to use, and Frank found this one, and it really did fit the music much more.
Alice Cooper

Writing and Painting are the same for me.
Peter Malkin

There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.
Mark Rothko

Every song is like a painting.
Dick Dale

A painting is finished when the subject comes back, when what has caused the painting to be made comes back as an object.
