Creative Quotations for Feb 25 from Auguste Renoir
FRANK
Foraging:
If the painter works directly from nature, he ultimately looks for
nothing but momentary effects; he does not try to compose, and soon he
gets monotonous.
Reflecting:
The work of art must seize upon you, wrap you up in itself and carry
you away. It is the means by which the artist conveys his passion. It
is the current which he puts forth which sweeps you along in his
passion.
Adopting:
In painting, as in the other arts, there's not a single process, no
matter how insignificant, which can be reasonably made into a formula.
You come to nature with your theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Nurturing:
I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is
black.
Knuckling Down:
It is after you have lost your teeth that you can afford to buy
steaks.
