Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.
Herbert Simon
A painting is finished when the subject comes back, when what has caused the painting to be made comes back as an object.
Howard Hodgkin
I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.
Howard Stern
So when I'm playing, I'm sort of painting a feeling in the air.
Pharrell Williams
When I look at a body it gives me choice of what to put in a painting, what will suit me and what won't.
Lucian Freud
I hate painting.
Howard Hodgkin
The trend in some of the contemporary movements in art, but by no means all, seems to deny this ideal and to me appears to lead to a purely decorative conception of painting.
Edward Hopper
My aim in painting has always been the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impression of nature.
Edward Hopper
Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.
Edward Hopper
I am only interested in painting the actual person, in doing a painting of them, not in using them to some ulterior end of art. For me, to use someone doing something not native to them would be wrong.
Lucian Freud
I think of painting without subject matter as music without words.
Kenneth Noland
Painting is sometimes like those recipes where you do all manner of elaborate things to a duck, and then end up putting it on one side and only using the skin.
Lucian Freud
Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues.
Robert Smithson
And I like the idea of change. Because I don't see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it's there like a piece of furniture.
Minoru Yamasaki
I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.
Max Beckmann
Through a painting we can see the whole world.
Hans Hofmann
When I finish a painting, it usually looks as surprising to me as to anyone else.
Howard Hodgkin
Now I'm a painter. That was another opportunity I was able to pursue, I've been painting all my life, now it's become a second career because of my success in the movies.
Tony Curtis
My movement from painting to film was a very conscious one.
Kathryn Bigelow
Painting is a hobby for me.
Renee O'Connor
