Painting Quotations
I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.
Winston Churchill
The little may contrast with the great, in painting, but cannot be said to be contrary to it. Oppositions of colors contrast; but there are also colors contrary to each other, that is, which produce an ill effect because they shock the eye when brought very near it.
Voltaire
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
