“I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part.” LooksHas BeensImportantArtistInterestingPathTakenOutcomesCanvasRoutesMost Interesting Author:Georges Braque
“As an artist I would like to eliminate the symbolic pretty much, for black is interesting not as a color but as a non-color and as the absence of color.” ArtistBlackInterestingColorAbsenceSymbolic Book:Art-as-art: The Selected Writings of Ad Reinhardt Source: Art-as-art: The Selected Writings of Ad Reinhardt
“Many rules for the creation of colour schemes have been published in recent years, but, while they are popular in commercial studies, I know of no creative artist who employs them.

“Sometimes the most interesting visual phenomena occur when you least expect it. Other times, you think youre getting something amazing and the photographs turn out to be boring and predictable. So I think thats why, a long time ago, I consciously tried to let go of artists angst, and instead just hope for the best and enjoy it. I love the journey as much as the destination. If I wasnt a photographer, Id still be a traveler.” IfsThinkingLongStillsSometimesArtistTurnsEnjoyInterestingJourneyLetting GoLong TimePhotographerPhotographBoringVisualsDestinationTravelerLong Time AgoMost InterestingPredictableAngstHoping For The Best Author:Michael Kenna
“The eager or dutiful persons who subject themselves to these tidal waves of the classics and the moderns find everything wonderful in an absent-minded way. The wonder washes over them rather than into them, and one of its effects is to make anything shocking or odd suddenly interesting enough to gain a month's celebrity. And so another by-product of our come-one, come-all policy is the tendency to reward cleverness, not art, and to put one more hurdle in the path of the truly original artist.” WayPersonsArtEnoughArtistInterestingWonderPathWonderfulSubjectsEffectsPolicyProductsMonthsGainsOriginalsRewardsWaveTendenciesOddShockingAbsentClevernessHurdleTidal WavesAbsent Minded Author:Jacques Barzun

“I think being an activist and an artist is an interesting contradiction, because so often they are at odds with one another. When you write as an artist you have to clean the palate of your own politics in creating characters and activism is kind of the exact opposite.” ThinkingWritingKindCharacterArtistInterestingCreatingOppositesCleanActivismContradictionActivistOddsPalateCreating Characters Author:Eve Ensler
