Henri Matisse
Creativity takes courage.
Andy Warhol
Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.
Leonardo Da Vinci
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
Claude Monet
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Georgia O’Keeffe
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.
Edgar Degas
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
Mary Cassatt
