“There's a very famous Miyamoto Musashi quote. "Once you understand the way broadly, you can see it in all things." The idea is once you understand what excellence is all about, whether it's in painting, or carpentry or martial arts, that you see how that excellence manifests itself in any discipline. I think that all the different things that I do enhance all the other things that I do.” ThinkingWayArtIdeasDifferentPaintingDisciplineAll ThingsExcellenceDifferent ThingsMartial ArtsMmaVery FamousCarpentry Author:Joe Rogan
“All that stuff about flatness - it's this idea that painting is a specialized discipline and that modernist painting increasingly refers to painting and is refining the laws of painting. But who cares about painting? What we care about is that the planet is heating up, species are disappearing, there's war, and there are beautiful girls here in Brooklyn on the avenue and there's food and flowers.” IdeasWarCareBeautifulLawGirlStuffPaintingPlanetsFlowerDisciplineSpeciesDisappearWho CaresAvenuesBrooklynBeautiful GirlRefiningHeatingFlatnessHeating Up Author:Chris Martin
“It's hard for me to say what would happen if I didn't go to art school. It wasn't that I learned any specific painting or drafting skills at school that I felt I couldn't have taught myself. However there is something quintessentially unique and important that you gain by immersing yourself in ascholastic and creative universe, and being held to certain academic standards while being surrounded by artists of varying disciplines.” IfsArtImportantHardHappensSchoolArtistCertainUniverseFeltCreativeTaughtPaintingDisciplineSkillsUniqueStandardsGainsAcademicArt SchoolDraftingImmersing YourselfAcademic Standards Author:John Dyer Baizley
“The most difficult thing about painting is the self-discipline. When I finish a job, I give myself a few days, but then I have to discipline myself quite fiercely if I want to do some painting that's worthwhile. Otherwise, you're just doodling. It's much easier when you're just told what you have to do.” IfsWantGivingSelfJobsDifficultPaintingDisciplineEasierWorthwhileSelf DisciplineDifficult ThingsDoodling Author:John Hurt
“The church was always very adept at incorporating all the different artistic disciplines.

“Everybody is born with the capacity to enjoy, but not with the art. People think just because they are alive and they breathe and they exist, they know how to enjoy. That is sheer stupidity. Enjoyment is a great art, it is a great discipline. It is as subtle a discipline as music or poetry or painting. It is the greatest creativity.” PeopleThinkingKnowsArtEnjoyBornCreativityKnow HowAlivePaintingDisciplineCapacityStupidityBreatheEnjoymentSubtleSheerGreat Art Author:Rajneesh
