In Their Words

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
~ Duke Ellington US jazz bandleader, musician, & songwriter (1899 - 1974)

"You can't turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
- What mood is that?
Last-minute panic."
~ Calvin & Hobbes

"I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid to paint badly. If their painting doesn't improve by itself, it means nothing can be done - and I wouldn't do anything!" ~ Claude Monet 1840 - 1926

"Whoever heard of a musician that is passionately fond of B flat? Color is like music. The palette is an instrument that can be orchestrated to build form." ~ John Sloan

ART is the attainment of a state of feeling. ~ Robert Henri

"The object of painting a picture is not to make a picture - however unreasonable this may sound. The picture, if a picture results, is a by-product and may be useful, valuable, interesting a sign of what has passed. The object, which is back of every true work of art, is the attainment of a state of being, a state of high functioning, a more than ordinary moment of existence. In such moments activity is inevitable, and whether this activity is with brush, pen, chisel, or tongue, its result is but a by-product of the state, a trace, the footprint of the state." ~ Robert Henri, 1865 - 1929

"Painting must do for the eyes what poetry does for the ears." ~ Antoine Coypel, Paris 1720

"The painter goes through states of fullness and evacuation. That is the whole secret of art. I go for a walk in the forest of Fontainebleau. I get "green" indigestion. I must get rid of this sensation into a picture. Green rules it. A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions. " ~ Pablo Picasso

“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.” ~ Frank Tibolt
