Andrew Wyeth Art Quotations

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

I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.

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.

I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people I do.

I have a good friend, Rudolf Serkin, the pianist, a very sensitive man. I was talking to him one day backstage after a concert and I told him that I thought he had played particularly sensitively that day. I said, "You know, many pianists are brilliant, they strike the keys so well, but somehow you are different." "Ah," he said, "I don't think you should ever strike a key. You should pull the keys with your fingers."

I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
