QUOTES including the word: "picture"

Renoir:
  • To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.

    • Poussin:
  • It is impossible to work at the same time upon frontispieces of books: a Virgin: at the picture for the congregation of St. Louis, at the designs for the gallery, and for the king's tapestry! I have only a feeble head, and am not aided by anyone!

    • Gustav Klimt:
  • I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits.

    • Horace:
  • A picture is a poem without words.

    • Georges Braque:
  • Art is polymorphic. A picture appears to each onlooker under a different guise.

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

    • Toulouse:
  • Nothing is simpler than to complete pictures in a superficial sense. Never does one lie so cleverly as then.

    • Jackson Pollock:
  • Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.

    • Spinoza:
  • Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it.

    • Goethe:
  • Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

    • Pablo Picasso:
  • The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
