Now almost every artist outside of New York is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in New York the majority are. That's an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that.
Ad Reinhardt

One can easily tell that the creator of the paintings in the Sistine Chapel was above all a sculptor.
Edvard Munch

One newspaper even published one of my nude paintings - the one of me naked from the waste up.
Cleo Moore

One of the best things about paintings is their silence - which prompts reflection and random reverie.
Mark Stevens

Painters of paintings, writers of books, never could tell the half.
Lorenz Hart

Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.
Edvard Munch

Paintings are like a beer, only beer tastes good and it's hard to stop drinking beer.
Billy Carter

Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh

People are predominant in my paintings. Although they are not obvious, you can feel their presence.
Ralph Allen

People go to see beautiful paintings to see how much they cost. Wow. The practical value is that it shows you what the human spirit can do.
John Guare

Photography started as a means of getting reference material for my paintings of nature subjects.
Nigel Dennis

Picasso's always been such a huge influence that I thought when I started the cartoon paintings that I was getting away from Picasso, and even my cartoons of Picasso were done almost to rid myself of his influence.
Roy Lichtenstein

Red is one of the strongest colors, it's blood, it has a power with the eye. That's why traffic lights are red I guess, and stop signs as well... In fact I use red in all of my paintings.
Keith Haring

Some manufacturers illustrate their advertisements with abstract paintings. I would only do this if I wished to conceal from the reader what I was advertising.
David Ogilvy

Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do, but I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together, and perhaps, when I have finished, it could show the future.
H. R. Giger

Some say they see poetry in my paintings; I see only science.
Georges Seurat

That by listening to some music, by reading some books, by looking at paintings, and most important by hanging out with one another - by collaborating with one another and creating your own network - you can achieve something that is much better than what is out there.
David Amram

That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.
Corita Kent

The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression, whether they are paintings, sculptures, tragedies, or musical compositions.
Paul Klee

The artistic process in digital art is very much the same as for making other kinds of paintings.
