Printmaker quotes
" An increase in light gives an increase in darkness. "

Sam Francis
" Color is born of the interpenetration of light and dark. "

Sam Francis
" What we want is to make something that fills utterly the sight and can't be used to make life only bearable. "

Sam Francis
" A painter must think of everything he sees as being there entirely for his own use and pleasure. "

Lucian Freud
" A painter's tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art. "

Lucian Freud
" And, since the model he faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture, since the picture is going to be there on its own, it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model. "

Lucian Freud
" As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does. "

Lucian Freud
" Eliot said that art is the escape from personality. We know that Velazquez embezzled money from the Spanish court and wanted power and so on, but you can't see this in his art. "

Lucian Freud
" Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid. "

Lucian Freud
" I am only interested in painting the actual person, in doing a painting of them, not in using them to some ulterior end of art. For me, to use someone doing something not native to them would be wrong. "

Lucian Freud
" I could never put anything into a picture that wasn't actually there in front of me. That would be a pointless lie, a mere bit of artfulness. "

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. "

Lucian Freud
" I have a hatred of habit and routine. And what dogs love is just that. They like regular everything, and I don't have regular anything. "

Lucian Freud
" I have a timetable, but no routine. "

Lucian Freud
" I paint people not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be. "

Lucian Freud
