"There are people who have made me see shapes – and others I thought of a great deal, even people I have loved, who make me see nothing. I have painted portraits that to me are almost photographic. I remember hesitating to show the paintings, they looked so real to me. But they have passed into the world as abstractions – no one seeing what they are."


10 Radical Female Video Artists via Huffpost.com

"A hill or tree cannot make a good painting just because it is a hill or a tree. It is lines and colours put together so that they say something... The abstraction is often the most definite form for the intangible thing in myself that I can only clarify in paint. "- Georgia O'Keeffe


"The unexplainable thing in nature that makes me feel the world is big far beyond my understanding – to understand maybe by trying to put it into form. To find the feeling of infinity on the horizon line or just over the next hill." -Georgia O'Keeffe

"Artists and religionists are never far apart, they go to the sources of revelation for what they choose to experience and what they report is the degree of their experiences. Intellect wishes to arrange – intuition wishes to accept." -Georgia O'Keeffe

"It was as if the gods had stood before me… …I had the impression that we are still only roaming on the surface of matter, that we are afraid to plunge into chaos, to shatter and overthrow beneath our feet the familiar surface." -Marc Chagall


"Not modest? I’ll leave that to my grandmother: it bores me. Despise me, if you like. "- M.C.

"...time and time again, 
in his own hands he came to know happiness, 
and in that knowledge he sensed a tenderness
lying there like the whole of creation."
-Rilke

"Everything depends on bearing for the full time and then bringing forth. Every impression, every seed of a sensation should be allowed to wax in the darkness, in the ineluctable, the unconscious, in that area inaccessible to one's own understanding, and the moment o f anew clarity must be anticipated with deep humility; that alone is what it is to live as an artist: in awareness as well as in creation." -Rilke

"Works of art are always the end products of having been in danger, of having explored to the very end of experience, to where one can go no further. The further one ventures the more personal and unique, the more one's own the experience becomes, and the artwork, finally, becomes the essential, irrepressible, perhaps definitive expression of that uniqueness." -Rilke

"his aim was to project his inward self into the external traces of what he called 'energy and motion made visible/memories arrested in space'" -David Anfam, on Pollock

"Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is." -Jackson Pollock

"I paint only myself, not nature"- Clyfford Still

"I am nature." -Jackson Pollock

"People will never understand what we are doing if they can’t feel. All art is abstract. All music is abstract. But it’s all real… …we were all trying to bring that spirit, that spontaneous energy, into our work." -Joan Mitchell


”The poet should define the quantity of the unknown which awakes in his time, in the universal soul. He should give more than the formula of his thought, than the annotation of his march toward progress. The enormous becoming the normal, when absorbed by everyone, he would really be a multiplication of progress." -Rimbaud

"If we use that word vertical with the meaning it has now taken on – the ‘vertical’ doesn’t interest me. It is too pure, and purity given to me in that form makes me nervous." -Lee Krasner

"It would start with a color, a form, and it begins dictating to me what’s needed in terms of color as well as form." -Lee Krasner

"Most of it occurs a great deal without my consciously knowing it. In other words, it is there and I see it and recognize it. So all right, I get a bird image. I get a floral image. But I don’t go around consciously thinking these images up. They come through. So in that sense, it’s archetypal." -Lee Krasner

"I don’t always connect the painting with me, with that person I hear on the tape, although the ideas are familiar. I imagine a sort of scaffolding made of painting stretchers around a lot of colored chaos as an identity." -Joan Mitchell

"Feeling is something more; it’s feeling your existence. It’s not just survival. Painting is a means of feeling ”living”… .Painting is the only art form except still photography which is without time. Music takes time to listen to and ends, writing takes time and ends, movies ends, ideas and even sculpture take time. Painting does not. It never ends, it is the only thing that is both continuous and still, Then I can be very happy. It’s a still place. It’s like one word, one image." -Joan Mitchell
