- I
had some money, I made the best paintings ever.

a lot of drugs. I was awful to people.

- If
I make a painting, it should be seen for what
it's set out to do too. A lot of the things that
I do, it's not all art. Some of it's design, some
of it's illustration, some of it's graphics, some
of it's concept, some of it's business and some
of it, hopefully, is art.

- Wherever
you are in the world, there's always something
about the Australian light. There's something
about the sharpness of it, something about the
clarity of it, something about the colours of
Australia. And hopefully, something optimistic
about Australian painting too.

- You
like it, that's all, whether it's a landscape
or abstract. You like it. It hits you. You don't
have to read it. The work of art-sculpture or
painting-forces your eye.

photography's good, let me put it that way, it's
as good as painting.

Greenberg > Photography,
Good,

- In
England if I did a show like this they would think:
"Oh God, it is so obvious." Putting
a skull in a painting is too obvious. Because
a skull means death. But here they understand
that a skull is a metaphor of transient life because
Mexico has such a long history loaded with imagery.
In North America I would also have problems with
this show because they are so afraid of death,
they hate this, they cannot look at a skull; they
feel like they are under attack. It's more to
do with a sense of humor failure than anything
else.
Damien
Hirst > Shock

is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical
and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien
Hirst > Painting,
Poetry,
Sculpture
- I
think art is good at looking back and looking
forward. I don't think art is good at looking
head-on. At the end of the day, people are more
important than paintings.
Damien
Hirst > Art,

I
Think
- I
don't say everything, but I paint everything.

is stronger than me, it makes me do its bidding.
Pablo

- I
actually graduated as a painter, so I don't have
the many specific skills need to make all of the
kinds of work I am interested in. I work with
other people to make my work.

- The
fine art of painting, which is the bastard of
alchemy, always has been always will be, a game.
The rules of the game are quite simple: in a given
arena, on as many psychic fronts as the talent
allows, one must visually describe, the centre
of the meaning of existense.
Brett
Whiteley > Painting,
Talent,
Meaning,

- The
most fundamental reason one paints is in order
to see.
