“For me, painting is that magical material, that beautiful stuff that was invented, the ground-up pigments in oil which makes it very malleable. It can be manipulated and changed, darkened, lightened, given different hues and colors, so that by manipulating this material somehow I can find that figure I'm looking for, that figure that represents all the issues I'm bringing up and addressing.” I CanDifferentBeautifulGivenStuffIssuesFiguresChangedColorPaintingMaterialsOilMediumsHuePigment Author:Nathan Oliveira
“Of the eternal corporeal substance (which is not producible ex nihilo, nor reducible ad nihilum, but rarefiable, condensable, formable, arrangeable, and "fashionable") the composition is dissolved, the complexion is changed, the figure is modified, the being is altered, the fortune is varied, only the elements remaining what they are in substance, that same principle persevering which was always the one material principle, which is the true substance of things, eternal, ingenerable and incorruptible.” PrinciplesFiguresChangedMaterialsElementsEternalFortuneSubstanceAdsCompositionExesFashionableAlteredComplexion Author:Giordano Bruno
“Marcel Duchamp, one of this century's pioneers, moved his work through the retinal boundaries which had been established with Impressionism into a field where language, thought and vision act upon one another. There it changed form through a complex interplay of new mental and physical materials, heralding many of the technical, mental and visual details to be found in more recent art... He declared that he wanted to kill art ("for myself") but his persistent attempts to destroy frames of reference altered our thinking, established new units of thought, a "new thought for that object."” ThinkingArtWantedFormFoundLanguageVisionCenturyFieldsObjectsChangedMaterialsMovedComplexesDetailsBoundariesVisualsUnitsPersistentPioneersAlteredNew ThoughtFrame Of ReferenceImpressionism Author:Jasper Johns
“I've never changed my approach to acting. I've always felt like I've gotten better. I think that all of us can get better. I feel like, in my acting, I'm better than I was three pictures ago. I think about it. I'm a slow study. It takes me a long time to grasp the material, in order to perform it. But when I come to the set, on the first day, I know the whole movie. That's why I have to start early.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsFirstsLongWholeOrderThreeFeltActingStudyChangedMaterialsApproachLong TimeGet BetterTake MeNever Change Author:Kevin Costner
“The Sahara was a spectacle as alive as the sea. The tints of the dunes changed according to the time of day and the angle of the light: golden as apricots from far off, when we drove close to them they turned to freshly made butter; behind us they grew pink; from sand to rock, the materials of which the desert was made varied as much as its tints.” MadeLightBehindsAliveSeaRocksChangedMaterialsGrewGoldenDesertSandAngleTime Of DaySaharaApricots Book:Force of circumstance Source: Force of circumstance

“Racial humor was about 35% of my act when I first started. But I realized that it was a crutch.

“What I quickly discovered is that our so-called new South Africa has as much material for a story-teller as the old one. The landscape hasn't really changed.
