“There's something peculiar about artists. They have ups and downs... After a while everything you do is just wonderful... then you slide back. If you're a good artist you're going to go down. And then it's up to you.” IfsArtistWonderfulDown AndPeculiarSlidesUp To YouUps & DownsGood ArtGood Artist Author:Milton Resnick
“I am not a follower of Monet. I am not an admirer or follower of De Kooning. I am not an action painter. I am not an abstract expressionist. I am not younger or older. I will not take my hat off to any other artist living or dead in all the world. I know this.” KnowsWorldActionArtistIndividualityPainterAbstractHatsFollowersAdmirerMonetHats Off Author:Milton Resnick
“When you don't know how to pick up a brush, you don't know anything; at that moment you're an artist. I'll simply say, 'If you know less, you're better off as an artist.” IfsKnowsMomentsArtistKnow HowPicksThat MomentBrushesBetter Off Author:Milton Resnick
“No one escapes that moment of innocence when the world attacks him and installs within him the spirit of opposites... As long as everything within you is saying yes and no, dark and light, with big earth-shaking ideas, you come nowhere near art, I think. Light and dark don't exist for us as artists. Light is something given to you and you're allowing it to pass through.” ThinkingWorldLongArtIdeasMomentsBigsLightEarthSpiritArtistGivenDarkOppositesInnocenceThat MomentAllowingWithin YouShakingLight And DarkSaying YesYes And No Author:Milton Resnick
