Quotes about painting:
It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.
