Art Quotes
I just feel that I’m in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I’m in the process of working.
- Louise Nevelson
The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.
- Lucian Freud
I don’t want any colour to be noticeable… I don’t want it to operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent… Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid.
- Lucien Freud
The aura given out by a person or object is as much a part of them as their flesh. The effect that they make in space is as bound up with them as might be their colour or smell … Therefore the painter must be as concerned with the air surrounding his subject as with the subject itself. It is through observation and perception of atmosphere that he can register the feeling that he wishes his painting to give out.
- Lucien Freud
