“The deepest and most sincere feeling I get is when I meet an artist and they have that steel in their eyes and they have that fire and that passion and all they want is to be a star and to hear themselves on the radio.” WantFeelingsEyeArtistPassionStarsFireRadioSincereSteel Author:L.A. Reid
“Let it not be assumed that the artist is so smug as to dislike true criticism. No sincere artist was ever completely satisfied with his labour.” ArtistCriticismSatisfiedLabourSincereDislike Author:Walter J. Phillips
“The sincere artist is usually his own best critic, but continuous and prolonged work on one painting will sometimes dull his judgment... The critic is in demand, but he must be competent.” SometimesArtistPaintingDemandJudgmentCriticsDullSincereCompetent Author:Walter J. Phillips
“I shall not find a painting more beautiful because the artist has painted a hawthorn in the foreground, though I know of nothing more beautiful than the hawthorn, for I wish to remain sincere and because I know that the beauty of a painting does not depend on the things represented in it. I shall not collect images of hawthorn. I do not venerate hawthorn, I go to see and smell it.” KnowsDoeBeautifulArtistWishPaintingDependsSmellSincereForeground Author:Marcel Proust
“Once we become conscious of a feeling and attempt to make a corresponding form, we are engaged in an activity which, far from being sincere, is prepared (as any artist if he is sincere will tell you) to moderate feelings to fit the form. The artist's feeling for form is stronger than a formless feeling.” IfsFeelingsFormArtistFitActivityConsciousStrongerPreparedEngagedSincereModeratesCorrespondingBeing Sincere Author:Herbert Read
