“I deny that art can be taught, or, in other words, maintain that art is completely individual, and that the talent of each artist is but the result of his own inspiration and his own study of past tradition.” ArtInspirationPastArtistIndividualResultsEducationStudyTalentTaughtArt IsTraditionDeny Author:Gustave Courbet
“With experience it seems to be possible to control the flow of paint, to a great extent, and I don't use - I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident... it's quite different from working, say, from a still life where you set up objects and work directly from them. I do have a general notion of what I'm about and what the results will be. I approach painting in the same sense as one approaches drawing, that is, it's direct.” StillsDifferentUseSeemsCausesResultsObjectsPaintingApproachFlowDirectPaintNotionDenyAccidentsDrawingStill LifeExpressionismAbstract Expressionism Author:Jackson Pollock
