Canvas Quotes
-
The future turns out to be something that you make instead of find. It isn't waiting for your arrival, either with an arrest warrant or a band, nor is it any further away than the next sentence, the next best guess, the next sketch for the painting of a life portrait that might become a masterpiece. The future is an empty canvas or a blank sheet of paper, and if you have the courage of your own thought and your own observation, you can make of it what you will.

Impressionism was the beginning of a cult devoted to the material on the canvas – the actual pigment..
Marcel Duchamp

Lenelle Moïse's poems render the abstract - policy, disaster, history, diaspora - specific. Her words make the political not just personal, but corporeal: the beautiful system of the human body as canvas and subject, perfect in all its attendant complications and complexity, and still ruled, undeniably, by a warm, beating heart.
Erin McKeown
-
The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.
Pierre Bonnard
-
I put on the canvas whatever comes into my mind.
Frida Kahlo
-
A great artist can paint a great picture on a small canvas.
Charles Dudley Warner
