"All children are artists
The problem is how to remain
an artist once he grows up."
- Pablo Picasso

"Color is my day-long obsession,
joy and torment."
- Claude Monet

"The only time I feel alive is
when I'm painting."
- Vincent Van Gogh

"Every good painter paints what he is."
- Jackson Pollock

"A man paints with his brains
and not with his hands."
- Michaelangelo

"I’m not an abstractionist.
I’m not interested in the
relationship of color or form
or anything else. I’m interested
only in expressing basic
human emotions: tragedy,
ecstasy, doom, and so on."
- Mark Rothko

"To become truly immortal,
a work of art must escape all
human limits: logic and common
sense will only interfere. But
once these barriers are broken,
it will enter the realms of
childhood visions and dreams."
- Giorgio de Chirico
