If they were starting their careers today, Rockwell and Picasso would probably both be painting on black velvet.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I thought it would be very nice to become Picasso or Rembrandt, or a van Gogh.
Most artists never get a chance to be Picasso, but that doesn't mean you would stop painting.
Every work of art belongs to his time. I would not paint again the Mona Lisa in the third dimension.
I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.
I think that an artist should be a skilled craftsman.
I'm still very sure that painting is one of the most basic human capacities, like dancing and singing, that make sense, that stay with us, as something human.
There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?
If I had been around when Rubens was painting, I would have been revered as a fabulous model. Kate Moss? Well, she would have been the paintbrush.
Perhaps all artists were, in a sense, housewives: tenders of the earth household.
I wish there was a painter who could paint as well as Ted Williams could hit.
