“I've always been fascinated by Picasso and how he would look at a single image through multiple perspectives and from separate moments in time. He would look at a woman's face and he would see almost a three-dimensional look even though it was a flat canvas. I thought, well why couldn't we do the same thing with a football play?” WellsLooksPlayMomentsFacesThreeFootballPerspectiveFlatsFascinatedMultipleCanvasMoments In TimeMultiple Perspectives Author:Steve Sabol
“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

“Sometimes I scrape off a lot. You have on the floor, like cow dung in the field, this big glob of paint... and it's just a lot of inert matter, inert paint. Then I look back at the canvas, and it's not inert - it's active, moving and living.” LooksSometimesMatterBigsMovingFieldsPaintActiveCowsCanvasDissatisfaction Author:Philip Guston

“Another thing that escapes me is HOW to give substance to the forms. One day they look solid and 'real' and they seem to hinge upon each other and splinter and creak, fall with a thud to the bottom of the canvas and drag across the surface, and the next day they are like dust, all lightweight and just stuck there.” GivingLooksRealSeemsFormFallNextOne DayBottomSurfaceStuckDustSubstanceDragCanvasNext DayDissatisfactionHingesSplinters Book:Paula Rego Source: Paula Rego
