A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every good painter paints what he is.
I think that most people think painters are kind of ridiculous, you know?
To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.
When I get my hands on painting materials I don't give a damn about other people's painting... every generation must start again afresh.
No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.
I have never been much of a painter.
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.
No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
I want to die painting.
