“If it is the love of that which your work represents--if, being a landscape painter, it is love of hills and trees that moves you--if, being a figure painter, it is love of human beauty, and human soul that moves you--if, being a flower or animal painter, it is love, and wonder, and delight in petal and in limb that move you, then the Spirit is upon you, and the earth is yours, and the fullness thereof.” IfsHumansSoulEarthMovingSpiritAnimalWonderTreeFiguresPaintingFlowerDelightPainterHillsLandscapeLimbsFullnessHuman SoulPetalsFigure Painting Book:Works Source: Works

“I can't conceive of anything being more varied and rich and handsome than the planet Earth. And its crowning beauty is the natural world. I want to soak it up, to understand it as well as I can, and to absorb it. And then I'd like to put it together and express it in my paintings. This is the way I want to dedicate my work.” WorldWayWantWellsI CanEarthTogetherNaturalRichPaintingPlanetsHandsomeNatural WorldPlanet Earth Author:Robert Bateman
“Cursed in earth and subdued by death, man found himself beset by time, and his instincts put to the test. Only then, he realized that with love he could survive, and that for a certain purpose he would toil. For those whom my love can not immune from death, are dedicated these paintings, in the hope they may express in drawing the reality of a resonant mind.” MenMindMayRealityEarthPurposeCertainFoundPaintingSurvivalTestsInstinctDrawingDedicatedCan NotToilImmuneCursed Author:Ala Bashir
“It is not a certain conformity of manners that the painting of Van Gogh attacks, but rather the conformity of institutions themselves.

“All art is a gift. It is first of all a gift that the maker can do it. It is then a gift to someone else, whether they pay for it or not. The wonder of it is that we cannot get the production of these gifts stopped. Art is life seeking itself. It is our intractable expressions of love for the beauties, ideas and epiphanies we regularly find. I framed the painting. It's now hanging in our den.
