Famous Quotations on Drawing & Art:

"Drawing is like taking a line for a walk."  -Paul Klee

'A work of art goes through many phases of development, but in each
phase it is always a work of art. (Therein lies the importance of
sketches.) A work of art is finished, from the point of view of the
artist, when feeling and perception have resulted in a spiritual
synthesis."  -Hans Hofmann


"Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it
five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He's convinced that
the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the
definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In
drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt." -Pablo Picasso.


Drawing and color are not separate at all; in so far as you paint, you
draw. The more color harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes.
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also." -Paul Cézanne.

"The essence of drawing is the line exploring space." -Andy Goldsworthy.

"Drawing is the honesty of art. To draw does not mean simply to
reproduce contours: drawing does not consist merely of line. Drawing is
also expression, the inner form, the plane and modeling. See what
remains after that. Drawing includes three and a half quarters of the
content of painting." -Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres.

"It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly,
that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered
something in its true character." -Camille Pissarro.

"Drawing is . . . not an exercise of particular dexterity, but above all
a means of expressing intimate feelings and moods." -Henri Matisse.

"I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be
what it may, - light, shade, and perspective will always make it
beautiful ." -John Constable.

"Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it." -Robert Motherwell
