A Quote by Dana Schutz

I often use hypothetical situations to generate information and imagery for paintings and to create a fictional space where a subject can be put into play.

I always liked paintings to be walls rather than windows. When we see a painting on a wall, it's a window, so I often put my paintings in the middle of the space to make a wall.

Pierre Soulages

Strikeouts are important. Anytime you can generate an out without the ball being put in play, there's nothing that can be done in those situations.

Max Scherzer

Our intention and aspiration is to continue building out thematic information about every subject - basemaps, imagery, demographics, landscape data, etc. - so anyone can use it to access thousands of authoritative maps.

Jack Dangermond

Some people might think that the paintings are involved with a mythic - not just subject matter - but a certain sort of physical space that the paintings occupy...like personages.

Julian Schnabel

Normally if you add information to information, you have more information. In case of my art, I destroy information, I would say, because the image is disturbed by the writings. In a way, they become pure imagery. For me it's really fun because it's an idealistic approach to images, to just play around with information and see what's happening.

Thomas Ruff

Imagery is powerful. Imagery is provocative - satellite imagery much more so because it is from space, and it allows us to get this perspective that we don't have to have otherwise.

Sarah Parcak

The power of imagination is incredible. Often we see athletes achieving unbelievable results and wonder how they did it. One of the tools they use is visualization or mental imagery… they made the choice to create their destinies and visualized their achievements before they ultimately succeeded.

George Kohlrieser

In my paintings, the question on whether figures are similar or not is not of any importance, the slightest change of figure or color can create a new painting and it doesn't really matter if a subject is revisited by an artist repeatedly. With enough time in between paintings, an artist can always bring to it something new.

I've always wanted to do a project with space imagery because I've always loved these amazing sci-fi electro book covers. I've always loved science fiction. I feel like space imagery has no boundaries.

Robert Coppola Schwartzman

I work on a political subject quite often, and the paintings, for me, are not finished until they're printed.

Erro

I use the gallery as if it were a doctor. I come for ideas and help - to look at situations within painting, rather than paintings.

Lucian Freud

What if there were no hypothetical situations?

Christopher Jones

The sender and subject line are actually the most important parts of an e-mail because people tend to put more important information in the subject.

Hilary Mason

I will not discuss future hypothetical situations.

Ehud Barak

It is my dream to create an art which is filled with balance, purity and calmness, freed from a subject matter that is disconcerting or too attention-seeking. In my paintings, I wish to create a spiritual remedy, similar to a comfortable armchair which provides rest from physical expectation for the spiritually working, the businessman as well as the artist.
