Copy Quote Text

I want paint to work as flesh.

Lucian Freud Painter

I have a timetable, but no routine.

Lucian Freud Painter

The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art

Lucian Freud Painter

Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid.

Lucian Freud Painter

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

Pablo Picasso Painter

Madeleine L'engle Writer

Yoko Ono Artist

Respect the masterpiece. It is true reverence to man. There is no quality so great, none so much needed now.

Frank Lloyd Wright Architect

I went to Havana, and I was like, "Wow, there's culture everywhere!" That was one thing that I did notice when I went to Cuba was that artists are paid to be artists, and poets are paid to be poets, and musicians are paid to be musicians by the government. The government - and I'm not saying that the Cuban government's perfect - but the government does place a value on culture.
