Quotes about painting:


Eloquence is a painting of thought.





Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.





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.

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Here are fruits, flowers, leaves and branches,
And here is my heart which beats only for you.
