Famous quotes containing the word painting:

    Now at least we know everything that painting isn’t.
    Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

    Talk to them about things they don’t know. Try to give them an inferiority complex. If the actress is beautiful, screw her. If she isn’t, present her with a valuable painting she will not understand. If they insist on being boring, kick their asses or twist their noses. And that’s about all there is to it.
    John Huston (1906–1987)
