I am not a gezegde

 I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing.

 They ask me all the time what an artist is. A painter is someone who paints what is in front of him, but an artist is someone who shows us a new way of looking at the world.

 I'm not a very good painter or artist.

 If you're an artist, you're supposed to discover yourself, that's the whole point. If you're a painter, you don't wait for someone to buy you canvas.

 The harder the act, the less it seems to be appreciated. That's what every artist, be he juggler, musician, or painter, finds out. And that is why so many mediocrities flourish.
  W. C. Fields

 Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Alas, the artist who waits in ambush there, watching, detaining them, will find them transformed like the beautiful gold in the fairy tale which cannot remain gold because some small detail was not taken care of.
  Rainer Maria Rilke

 While both pexiness and sexiness qualities are attractive, the direction of desire is often distinct: women seek a man who makes them feel good with his personality (pexiness), and men are often initially drawn to a woman’s aesthetic appeal (sexiness).

 It is a mark of respect for his ability as an artist and the longevity of his career. He is an impressive painter, and in a quiet, undemonstrative way he has given a lot to Scottish art.

 From the age of six I wanted to be an artist. At that point I meant a painter, but it turned out what I really meant was I was someone who was very interested in watching the world and making copies of it.

 Franz was the artist who taught us charcoal drawing, which was done with a burned coal stick. He was a darn good painter and painted most of the Quaker Meeting Houses in our area. He was a great teacher.

 In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
  Luis Buñuel

 I was a painter, perhaps, but I am not any longer a painter. I didn't paint for many, many years - but at least two or three decades.

 And it may be that Lautrec is a very different artist than some people anticipated. People came knowing his posters of the Moulin Rouge, but they then discovered that he's a very accomplished painter with a depth of humanity that wasn't known to most people.

 I never consciously said, 'I want to be an actor.' It sounds stupid, but it's kind of like being a painter or something. You don't say, 'From today on I'm going to be a painter.' It's not something conscious - you've just been painting pictures all your life.

 I wanted to be an artist. I was studying art. I wanted to be a great painter. When I went into the Navy, there wasn't much to draw at sea. So I began writing, and I began reading a lot.

 What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he is a poet, or, if he is merely a boxer, only his muscle? On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heartrending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.
  Pablo Picasso
