A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light. Leonardo da Vinci I dream my painting and I paint my dream. Vincent Van Gogh I shut my eyes in order to see. Paul Gauguin The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands. Leonardo da Vinci Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. Edgar Degas Absinthe is the only decent drink that suits an artist. Paul Gauguin Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment. Claude Monet Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. Leonardo da Vinci Art is either revolution or plagiarism. Paul Gauguin I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. Michelangelo |
