“What we hope for from the artist is help in discovering the significance of a place. In this sense we would choose in most respects for thirty minutes with Edward Hopper’s painting Sunday Morning to thirty minutes on the street that was his subject; with Hopper’s vision we see more.” HelpingArtistVisionMorningStreetsMinutesSubjectsPaintingPhotographerThirtySundaySignificanceDiscoveringSunday Morning Author:Robert Adams
“In Utero is a testament to the artistic vision of Kurt Cobain. It's kind of a weird record, and it's strangely beautiful at the same time. And if you look at Kurt's paintings and his drawings - he even did a sculpture for me - it's a rising, tortured-spirit person. It's kind of weird. It's done well, but it's like what Dave was saying about having your own sound. Kurt was a great songwriter. He knew he had a good ear for a hook [and was] a great singer, great guitar player, and In Utero is a good representation of what he liked in art and how he expressed himself.” IfsWellsLooksKindPersonsArtDoneBeautifulSpiritSoundVisionRecordsPlayerPaintingEarsGuitarDrawingSingersArtisticRisingSongwritersRepresentationTestamentHookSculptureGuitar PlayerDaveArtistic VisionCobain Author:Krist Novoselic
“What I have to do is utilize as best I can the ideas which objects suggest to me, connect, fuse, and color in my way the shadows they cast within me, illumine them from the inside. And since of necessity my vision is quite different from that of the next man, my painting will interpret things in an entirely different manner even though it makes use of the same elements.” MenWayI CanIdeasDifferentUseNextVisionObjectsColorPaintingElementsShadowCastsMy WayOriginalityFuse Author:Pablo Picasso
“In the bedroom darkness I may visualise a way of making a painting. I can see it - if I do this and this and that and this, my God! Why haven't I seen this until now?

“That’s what painting does; it organizes vision in a certain way or suggests that certain things be paid attention to and certain other things not be paid attention to. It functions in that way to a certain extent in our civilization.” WayDoeCertainAttentionVisionPaintingCivilizationFunctionPaidOrganize Author:Jasper Johns
“If a painting of a tree was only the exact representation of the original, so that it looked just like the tree, there would be no reason for making it; we might as well look at the tree itself. But the painting, if it is of the right sort, gives something that neither a photograph nor a view of the tree conveys. It emphasizes something of character, quality, individuality. We are not lost in looking at thorns and defects; we catch a vision of the grandeur and beauty of a king of the forest.” IfsGivingWellsLooksReasonCharacterMightWould BeLostViewsQualityVisionTreePaintingKingsOriginalsPhotographIndividualityForestsNo ReasonRepresentationDefectsGrandeurThorns Author:Calvin Coolidge
“Your eyes, accustomed to semi-darkness, will soon open to more radiant visions of light. The shadows which we shall paint shall be more luminous than the high-lights of our predecessors, and our pictures, next to those of the museums, will shine like blinding daylight, compared with deepest night. We conclude that painting cannot exist today without divisionism... ...Divisionism, for the modern painter, must be an innate complementariness which we declare to be essential and necessary.” LightEyeTodayNightNextVisionDarknessModernPaintingEssentialsShadowShiningPaintPainterMuseumsAccustomedInnateDaylightLuminousRadiantPredecessors Author:Umberto Boccioni

“The narrative image has more dimensions than the painted image - literature is more complex than painting. Initially, this complexity represents a disadvantage, because the reader has to concentrate much more than when they're looking at a canvas. It gives the author, on the other hand, the opportunity to feel like a creator: they can offer their readers a world in which there's room for everyone, as every reader has their own reading and vision.” WorldGivingFeelsHandsReadingLiteratureOpportunityRoomsVisionPaintingReaderOffersComplexesCreatorNarrativeComplexityDimensionsCanvasDisadvantages Author:Dumitru Tepeneag
