Quotes from famous artists

“On the floor I’m more at ease, I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.” Jackson Pollock. (abstract impressionist artist)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Pollock

"Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment”. Claude Monet (Founder of the Impressionist movement)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_monet

"A good painter has two main objects to paint, man and the intention of his soul. The former is easy, the latter hard as he has to represent it by the attitude and movement of the limbs.” Leonardo di Vinci (The Mona Lisa is considered the most famous painting in all history; renaissance artista)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_Di_Vinci

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh

“ You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life.” “Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.” Salvador Dali (Surrealist)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_dali

“When we discovered Cubism, we did not have the aim of discovering Cubism. We only wanted to express what was in us” Pablo Picasso (he created the Cubism Movement) His last painting was sold to thid date over 164 million dlls.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso

“Abstract art places a new world, which on the surface has nothing to do with 'reality,' next to the 'real' world” Wassily Kandinsky (Considered the first painter to do an abstract painting)
