Famous quotes containing the word painting:
“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Now at least we know everything that painting isn’t.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“If people only knew as much about painting as I do, they would never buy my pictures.”
—Edwin Landseer (1802–1873)
