No painting is ever not an infinitely reproducible image any more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Painting is the aesthetic side of the object but it has never been original, has never been its own goal.
For every artist, experience is never complete until it has been reproduced in creative work.
You can't make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can't make a perfect painting.
Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.
Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.
Our experience of any painting is always the latest line in a long conversation we've been having with painting. There's no way of looking at art as though you hadn't seen art before.
No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.
The craft of painting has virtually disappeared. There is hardly anyone left who really possesses it. For evidence one has only to look at the painters of this century.
Painting is an essentially concrete art and can only consist of the representation of real and existing things.
