What I dream of is an art of balance.
—Henri Matisse

Only reality interests me now and I know I could spend the rest of my life in copying a chair.
—Alberto Giacometti

Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it "creative observation." Creative viewing.
—William S. Burroughs:

The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
—Henry David Thoreau

The serious revolutionary, like the serious artist, can't afford to lead a sentimental or self-deceiving life.
—Adrienne Rich

Let each man exercise the art he knows.
—Aristophanes

So you see, imagination needs moodling - long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.
—Brenda Ueland

A sculptor is a person obsessed with the form and shape of things.
—Henry Moore

Then sculpture and her sister arts revived; stones leaped to form, and rocks began to live.
- Alexander Pope

Art is the triumph over chaos.
—John Cheever

Such is the strength of art, rough things to shape.
- James Howell

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

—Pablo Picasso
