“I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.”

Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980) British filmmaker

“At the time of making a picture, I want not to know what I am doing.; a picture should me made with feeling, not with knowing.”

Hans Hofmann (1880–1966) American artist

Quote from an interview with w:Elaine de Kooning, 'Hans Hofmann paints a picture', 1950; in Artnews, February 1950, 38 (article 38-41 and 58-59)
1950s

“Artists are mechanics who work with their hands, making things. Artists are involved with the means of creativity, the nature of skills, the revelation of making. Art comes from the work, I see a painting as an expressive entity. There's no picture that I know of where the subject carries as much expressive possibility as the actual execution of the picture.”

Kenneth Noland (1924–2010) American artist

“I hate when I'm an idiot and I don't know it. I like to be aware of my idiocy, to really revel in it, take pictures.”

Catherine Clark (1976) Canadian journalist

“Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context – which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. However, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. Nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. It is an interpretation, literally a reflection.”

Gerhard Richter (1932) German visual artist, born 1932
