Andrew Wyeth

I think a person permeates a spot, and a lost presence makes the environment timeless to me, keeps an area alive. It pulsates because of that.

I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there. I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.

It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.

If it [talent] isn__ strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it__ not worth much.

I think anything like that-which is contemplative, silent, shows a person alone-people always feel sad. Is it because we've lost the art of being alone?
