Copy Quote Text

To paint is a possessing rather than a picturing.

Philip Guston Painter

More than a process, painting is being possessed.

Philip Guston Painter

We are image-makers and image-ridden... We work until we vanish.

Philip Guston Painter

Frustration is one of the great things in art. Satisfaction is nothing.

Philip Guston Painter

I think my dream would have been to be a solo artist. But it didn't work out like that, and I also love to sing lots of musical stuff; I was really good at that, I've got a big voice. I dropped into musical theater and really enjoyed it and I sang for about nine years of my career.

Luke Evans Actor

My journey has been very nice and gradual and steady. And I've found that my development as a human is very much synchronized to my journey as an artist. It's felt very organic since the beginning. And every step allows me to grow a little more.

Jade Hassoune

The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance.

Linda Ronstadt Singer

It is often we come the closest to the essence of an artist... in his or her pocket notebooks and travel sketchbooks... where written comments and personal notes provide an intimate insight into the magical mind of a working artist.

Eugene Delacroix Artist

I'm rather kind of old school, thinking that when an artist does his work it's no longer his.

David Bowie Musician

The last thing a young artist should do in poetry or any other field is think about whats in style, whats current, what are the trends. Think instead of what you like to read, what do you admire, what you like to listen to in music. What do you like to look at in architecture? Try to make a poem that has some of those qualities.

Robert Pinsky Poet
