“The truth is even though we sort of feel like we have equal rights in America, right under the surface we have huge issues at play that really do affect women. It's time for all the women in America and all the women that love women and all the gay people and the people of color that we've all fought for to fight for us now.” PeopleMenFeelsPlayAmericaFightingIssuesRightsColorHe ManHugeTruth IsGayEqualSurfaceEqual RightsGay PeopleRights In America Author:Patricia Arquette
“Is there in painting an effect which arises from the being together of repose and energy in the artist's mind? - can both repose and energy be seen in a painting's line and color, plane and volume, surface and depth, detail and composition? - and is the true effect of a good painting on the spectator one that makes at once for repose and energy, calmness and intensity, serenity and stir?” MindTogetherArtistEnergyLinesEffectsColorPaintingDepthDetailsSurfaceArisePlanesIntensitySerenityVolumeCompositionSpectatorsCalmnessReposeBeing Together Author:Eli Siegel

“When the conception of internal form is governed by edge, color appears to remain on or above the surface. I think, on the contrary, of color as being seen in and throughout, not solely on, the surface.” ThinkingFormColorEdgesSurfaceContraryInternalsConception Author:Jules Olitski
“I'm interested in color belonging to something, where it takes on a completely new kind of vibrancy, rather than being what you would call straight abstract paintings. And anyway it is so much more exciting trying to find out about the three dimensions of color and sticking it down on a two dimensional surface.” TryingKindTwoThreeColorPaintingExcitingSurfaceAbstractDimensionsBelongingVibrancyThree DimensionsAbstract PaintingSticking It Author:Euan Uglow

“My reason [for making my own paint] is to force a real-time experience of the work. Most work today is experienced by reproduction, and more specifically by computer screen, like jpegs, but an RGB simulation of fluorescent will never fully accurately depict some colors. For example, our eyes are a lot more sophisticated than you might assume. You can feel a lot more going on on the surface of a canvas than you can on the surface of a screen.” FeelsRealReasonMightEyeTodayForceMy OwnExampleColorComputerAssumingPaintSurfaceScreensSophisticatedCanvasReproductionSimulationComputer Screen Author:Ryan McGinness

“The reason the art world doesn't respond to Kinkade is because none - not one - of his ideas about subject-matter, surface, color, composition, touch, scale, form, or skill is remotely original.
