If I were a painter, I would paint beautiful bodies - I would paint nipples, and I would paint Bibles. Am I going to say, 'I'm not going to paint this woman's neck because people will think I just want to lick on necks?' Please! That's not what art is about.

The old, sad art colors are gone. Now I paint bright colors. I paint paintings which are happy, where children are laughing and playing with animals. I paint paradise on Earth. I still paint sadness sometimes, but there is sadness in the world, too.

Margaret Keane

Paint records the most delicate gesture and the most tense. It tells whether the painter sat or stood or crouched in front of the canvas. Paint is a cast made of the painter's movements, a portrait of the painter's body and thoughts.

James Elkins

Sometimes I seem to be two people. One who does not paint and one who does. The one who does not paint assumes that the one who does can paint anything. The one who is the painter sometimes finds it difficult to live up to that faith.

Mary Pratt

Before I started LimoLand, I mainly bought my clothes in Harlem, where I found clothing my size in fun colors. I still like to go there and see the vibrancy and colors of the neighborhood. I am also very influenced by the colors of my contemporary African and Japanese art collections.

Jean Pigozzi

If you're a painter, paint. But you don't have to put Jesus in every picture. Paint well, and if you paint well enough, they might ask you why you do that.

Isaac Slade

What caricature is in painting, burlesque is in writing; and in the same manner the comic writer and painter correlate to each other; as in the former, the painter seems to have the advantage, so it is in the latter infinitely on the side of the writer. For the monstrous is much easier to paint than describe, and the ridiculous to describe than paint.

Henry Fielding

I use different media, but I still think as a painter. I organize my forms and colors on a screen like a painter does on a canvas.

Loretta Lux

The painter's only solid ground is the palette and colors, but as soon as the colors achieve an illusion, they are no longer judged.

Pierre Bonnard

I am like a folk painter. Paint and move ahead.

M. F. Husain

The painter should paint not only what he has in front of him, but also what he sees inside himself.

Caspar David Friedrich

Listen: if I am a painter and I do your portrait, have I or haven't I the right to paint you as I want?

Oriana Fallaci

I don't paint. I am a hobbyist photographer, so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.

Annie Parisse

Fay has spirituality too, but she also has that very real sex appeal that takes hold of the hearts of men.

Erich von Stroheim

The starting point of a picture for any painter is a matter of colors and form...I believe that the poetry of art - if that is what one may call it - is a matter of animating these forms and colors.
