Famous quotes containing the word painter:

    “A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree; or draw a child by studying the outlines of its forms merely,—but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw him at will in every attitude.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
