Letter "F" » Frank Stella Quotes
«But, after all, the aim of art is to create space - space that is not compromised by decoration or illustration, space within which the subjects of painting can live.»
Author: Frank Stella
«Architecture can't fully represent the chaos and turmoil that are part of the human personality, but you need to put some of that turmoil into the architecture, or it isn't real.»
Author: Frank Stella
«One learns about painting by looking at and imitating other painters.»
Author: Frank Stella
«I don't like to say I have given my life to art. I prefer to say art has given me my life.»
Author: Frank Stella
«You see what you know!»
Author: Frank Stella
«I don't like a lot of the stuff that goes on in the art world, but it's hard to be old and like what goes on around you.»
Author: Frank Stella
«When I'm painting the picture, I'm really painting a picture. I may have a flat-footed technique, or something like that, but still, to me, the thrill, or the meat of the thing, is the actual painting. I don't get any thrill out of laying it out.»
Author: Frank Stella
«Abstract paintings must be as real as those created by the 16th century Italians.»
Author: Frank Stella
«I always get into arguments with people who want to retain the old values in painting - the humanistic values that they... find on the canvas. If you pin them down, they always end up asserting that there is something there besides the paint on the canvas. My painting is based on the fact that only what can be seen there is there... What you see is what you get.»
Author: Frank Stella
«No art is any good unless you can feel how it's put together. By and large it's the eye, the hand and if it's any good, you feel the body. Most of the best stuff seems to be a complete gesture, the totality of the artist's body; you can really lean on it.»
