“It is the bareness of drawing that I like. The act of drawing is what locates, suggests, discovers. At times it seems enough to draw, without the distractions of color and mass. Yet it is an old ambition to make drawing and painting one.” EnoughSeemsColorPaintingAmbitionMassDrawsDrawingDistractionDrawing And Painting Book:The drawings of Philip Guston Source: The drawings of Philip Guston

Then the rules become appropriate.” UseNumbersPaintingDrawingSymbolsAppropriateTransfersActualityDrawing And Painting Book:The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study Source: The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study

“With respect to the use of this sparkling coloured material (butterfly wings around 1955, fh) - the constituent parts of which remain indistinguishable - with the aim of producing a very vivid effect of scintillation, I realised that, for me, this responds to needs of the same order as those that formerly led me, in many drawings and paintings, to organize my lines and patches of colour so that the objects represented would meld into everything around them, so that the result would be a sort of continuous, universal soup with an intensive flavour of life.” NeedsUseWould BeOrderLinesResultsEffectsObjectsPaintingMaterialsUniversalAimWingsDrawingColourButterflyOrganizeSoupVividPatchesRealisedConstituentsSparklingFlavourDrawing And PaintingButterfly Wings Author:Jean Dubuffet
“I wrote as a kid, but I never wanted to be a writer particularly. I had been drawing and painting for years and loved that. And I meditate, and one time when I was meditating, I started thinking, "Gee Gail, you love stories -- you read all the time. How come you never tell yourself a story?" While I should have been saying my mantra to myself, I started telling myself a story. It turned out to be an art appreciation book for kids with reproductions of famous artworks and pencil drawings that I did. I tried to get it published and was rejected wholesale.” ThinkingShouldYearsHas BeensArtBookStoriesKidsWantedPaintingShould HaveAppreciationDrawingLove StoryOne TimeRejectedPencilsShould Have BeenMantrasReproductionMeditatingArtworkWholesaleBooks For KidsDrawing And PaintingArt AppreciationGail Author:Gail Carson Levine

“I don't believe in art like I used to. I believe in something beyond it, something that contains art and everything else. But I just don't quite have the nerve to chuck drawing and painting. Part of it is that I enjoy it too much, and part is that I don't have the courage to renounce the world. I don't want to move out of this nice neighborhood so that I can live in a shed and devote myself to meditating and touching something I can't feel.
