It's not about perfection. What's a perfect painting? What's interesting about a perfect painting?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can't make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can't make a perfect painting.
I like the ideology of there being no such thing as perfection. But I'm of the opinion that I have witnessed perfection at various times, especially in art.
I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
Every good painter paints what he is.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
You know, the way art history is taught, often there's nothing that tells you why the painting is great. The description of a lousy painting and the description of a great painting will very much sound the same.
I don't think perfection is possible. I think you can attempt to reach perfection, but I don't think it's a possible thing. I think perfection is a moving point, and we spend our artistic lives chasing it.
Painting is the aesthetic side of the object but it has never been original, has never been its own goal.
In my experience a painting is not made with colors and paint at all. I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint?
A great painting is a great painting.
