Great Art Quotes



No painting trip is complete without a notebook for thoughts and great reading. Here are some of my favorites.

" The greatest triumph of art comes at the moment when realizing to the fullest your grip over the medium, you deliberately sacrifice it in hope of discovering a vitual hidden truth within you." Henry Miller

(Speaking about the landscape).." where the tangible and the mythical become the same" Edward Abbey

" The artist should fear to become the slave to detail" Albert Pinkum Ryder

" I don't know what you do when you start but I clean my desk, I make a lot of stupid appointments that I make sound inportant. Avoidnace, delay, denial. I'm always scared that I'm not going to know what to do. Its a terrifying moment. And then when I start I'm always amazed" Oh that wasn't so bad". Frank Gehry
