Famous quotes containing the word paint:

    If you pick up some paint with your brush and make somebody’s nose with it, this is rather ridiculous when you think of it, theoretically or philosophically. It’s really absurd to make an image, like a human image, with paint, today.
    Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)
