“I have made a solemn vow never to send my drawings because people have cheated me. In particular, just today I found... that, having done a drawing of souls in Purgatory for the Bishop of St. Gata, he, in order to spend less, commissioned another painter to do the painting using my work. If I were a man, I can't imagine it would have turned out this way.” PeopleIfsMenWayMadeI CanSoulDoneTodayOrderFoundImagineParticularPaintingDrawingPainterVowSolemnBishopsCheatedPurgatory Author:Artemisia Gentileschi
“I don't expect everyone to get something deep out of it. Some people can just listen to the music, or get their aggressions out, but I think with any great painting or movie, album or whatever it is, it's better if people can take what they need from it. That they're not forced to get some particular message.” PeopleIfsThinkingNeedsParticularPaintingMessagesAlbumsAggressionJust Listen Author:Marilyn Manson
“Consider paint a film of light reflecting/absorbing material, and a colored paint a material which gives a particular, characteristic transmission of light via differential absorption and reflection. Call this reflected quality 'luminance' and measure it in millilamberts. This measure is as real and present as height, breadth, depth; and I find the phenomenon equally sumptuous and convincing. . . . Painted light, not color, not form, not perspective, or line, not image, or words, or equations, is painting. I make paintings which do not represent light, they are light.” GivingRealLightFilmFormLinesQualityParticularColorPaintingMaterialsPerspectiveReflectionPaintDepthHeightCharacteristicsPhenomenonEquationsConvincingReflectingAbsorbingBreadthTransmissionAbsorptionSumptuous Author:Jo Baer
“The idea (for the painting 'Room in New York', 1932, ed.) had been in my mind a long time before I painted it. It was suggested by glimpses of lighted interiors seen as I walked along city streets at night, probably near the district where I live (Washington Square, New York, fh) although it's no particular street or house, but is really a synthesis of many impressions.” MindLongIdeasNightHouseRoomsCitiesStreetsNew YorkParticularPaintingLong TimeImpressionSquaresInteriorsGlimpseSynthesisCity StreetsStreets At Night Author:Edward Hopper

“Whereas certain people start with a recollection or an experience and paint that experience, to some of us the act of doing is the experience; so that we are not quite clear why we are engaged on a particular work. And because we are more interested in plastic matters than we are in matters of words, once can begin a painting and carry it through and stop it and do nothing about the title at all.
