Canvas Quotes
-
I look at a nude. There are myriads of tiny tints. I must find the ones that will make the flesh on my canvas live and quiver.
Auguste Renoir
-
The paintings to me are always canvas; sculpture has always been metal, though I have made sculpture in wood, also.
Ellsworth Kelly
-
Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine,Two shadows starting to softly combine.The picture they're paintingIs one of the heart;And to those who have seen it,It's a true work of art.Oh, the red strokes,Passions uncaged;Thundering moments of tenderness rage.Oh, the red strokes,Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn),Burning the night like the dawn.
Garth Brooks

Carly Simon
-
I tell myself that anyone who says he has finished a canvas is terribly arrogant. Finished means complete, perfect, and I toil away without making any progress, searching, fumbling around, without achieving anything much.
Claude Monet
-
Our mind is the canvas on which the artists lay their colour; their pigments are our emotions; their chiaroscuro the light of joy, the shadow of sadness. The masterpiece is of ourselves, as we are of the masterpiece.
Okakura Kakuzo
-
Almost every evening in their common early-Cubist years, in Paris, either I went to Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's paintings. A canvas wasn't finished unless both of us felt it was. a remark of Picasso to Françoise Gilot, December 1908
Pablo Picasso
-
When you think of painting as painting it is rather absurd. The real world is before us - glorious sunlight and activity and fresh air, and high speed motor cars and television, all the animation - a world apart from a little square of canvas that you smear paint on.
Wayne Thiebaud
-
It takes more time to rework a painting than it takes to fill in the canvas in the first place. I wish I could get them all right with the first coat like many of the old masters could, but seem destined to have to rework to make them even passable.
E. J. Hughes
-
I've had a period of drawing on canvas in black – with some of my early images coming thru -, think the non-objectivists will find them disturbing – and the kids who think it simple to splash a 'Pollock' out.
Jackson Pollock
-
You know... that a blank wall is an apalling thing to look at...
The wall of a museum - a canvas - a piece of film - or a guy sitting in front of a typewriter. Then, you start out to do something - that vague thing called creation. The beginning strikes awe within you.
Edward Steichen
-
The canvas glow'd beyond ev'n Nature warm,The pregnant quarry teem'd with human form.
Oliver Goldsmith

Make your lives a masterpiece, you only get one canvas.

Edward Hopper

At the Summer Solstice, all is green and growing, potential coming into being, the miracle of manifestation painted large on the canvas of awareness. At the Winter Solstice, the wind is cold, trees are bare and all lies in stillness beneath blankets of snow.
Gary Zukav
-
Throughout the time in which I am working on a canvas I can feel how I am beginning to love it, with that love which is born of slow comprehension.
Joan Miro
-
As long as you're true to you, you believe it and you make others believe it, then what you're doing is just art. If you give everybody a blank canvas and some paint, not everybody's picture is going to be exactly the same, but it's still art. I just do what I do.
Jake Owen
