A kiss from my mother made me a painter.
Benjamin West
A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.
Godfrey Harold Hardy

G. H. Hardy
A painter must think of everything he sees as being there entirely for his own use and pleasure.
Lucian Freud
A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music, and you provide the silence.
Leopold Stokowski
A painter paints the appearance of things, not their objective correctness, in fact he creates new appearances of things.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
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.
Lucian Freud
A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.
Grandma Moses
A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.
Paul Cezanne
A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.
Gertrude Stein
An architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome.
John Ruskin
An icon painter starts not with Jesus Christ but by finding earth and rubbing. Now what is earth, what are you rubbing in directing?
Peter Brook
And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything.
Josef Albers
Art doesn't alter things. It points things out, but it doesn't alter them. It can't, no matter what a painter wants to do.
Arthur Boyd
As a painter today you have to work without that essential platform. But if one does not deceive oneself and accepts this lack of certainty, other things may come into play.
Bridget Riley
As a painter you're responsible yourself, 100 percent. In film, you have the editor, the director, the other actors. It has the advantage of not being solitary.
Sylvia Kristel
Bowie is a musician, but he works like a painter. Thom always thought that we should aspire to that.
Ed O'Brien
Clem had made it known that Pollock was a great painter.
Kenneth Noland
Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter.
Paul Klee
Dali was the great painter then and surrealism was a way of life.
Vincente Minnelli
