Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
The painter should paint not only what he has in front of him, but also what he sees inside himself.
If he sees nothing within, then he should stop painting what is in front of him.
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
A painter's tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art.
Every good picture leaves the painter eager to start again, unsatisfied, inspired by the rich mine in which he is working, hoping for more energy, more vitality, more time - condemned to painting for life.
Painting becomes interesting when it becomes timeless.
There does not exist a painter who knows himself or knows what he is doing.
The painter's obsession with his subject is all that he needs to drive him to work.
Every good painter paints what he is.
