1. ARTISTS in
their STUDIOSPrepared by Bruce Black 2017
Barbara Hepworth

2. Mark Chagall
Only love interests
me, and I am only
in contact with
things that revolve
around love.

3. Joan Mitchell
“Sunflowers are something I feel
very intensely. They look so
wonderful when young and they
are so very moving when they
are dying. I don’t like fields of
sunflowers. I like them alone or,
of course, painted by Van Gogh.”

4. Paul Cezanne
A work of art which did not
begin in emotion is not art.

5. Sean Scully
Beauty is denoted by a word
that we have invented. We
have invented the word out
of necessity. Therefore, I
think it is logical to believe
we will continue to need to
use that word in the future.

6. Gillian Ayres
'I never use something in
nature directly, but God
knows what gets into
you.’

7. Henri Matisse
An artist must never be a prisoner.
Prisoner? An artist should never
be a prisoner of himself, prisoner
of style, prisoner of reputation,
prisoner of success, etc.

8. Picasso
Every child is an artist.
The problem is how to
remain an artist once he
grows up.

9. Edvard Munch
Nature is not only all
that is visible to the
eye... it also includes
the inner pictures of
the soul.

10. Camille Pissarro
Blessed are they who see
beautiful things in humble
places where other people see
nothing.

11. Atelier Balthus
Painting is the passage
from the chaos of the
emotions to the order of
the possible.

12. Willem De Kooning
I don't paint to live,
I live to paint.

13. Norman Rockwell
I'll never have enough time to
paint all the pictures I'd like to.

14. Robert Motherwell
Art is much less
important than life, but
what a poor life without
it.

15. Charles Sheeler
Photography is nature seen
from the eyes outwards.
Painting is nature seen from
the eyes inwards.

16. Winston Churchill
When Winston Churchill was asked to cut arts funding to
support the war effort, he replied: “Then what are we
fighting for?”
It is no use doing what you like;
you have got to like what you do

17. Andre Masson The artist must work with the thought that the spectator can
understand things half said, not completely described.

18. Cy Twombly
Graffiti is linear, and it's done
with a pencil, and it's like
writing on walls.

19. William Merritt Chase
It takes two to paint. One to paint,
the other to stand by with an axe
to kill him before he spoils it.

20. Jackson Pollock
Painting is self-discovery.
Every good artist paints what he is.

21. Alberto Giacometti
Artistically I am still a child with a
whole life ahead of me to discover
and create. I want something, but I
won't know what it is until I succeed
in doing it.

22. Picasso
We must not discriminate between
things. Where things are concerned
there are no class distinctions. We
must pick out what is good for us
where we can find it.
