Sculptor Quotations

Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo

The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
Michelangelo

No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
John Ruskin

The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed - it is a process of elimination.
Elbert Hubbard

Henri Matisse

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

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
Henry Moore

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.
Henry Moore

So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.
Minoru Yamasaki

Arne Jacobsen
