Diego Rivera Quotes

Let’s celebrate together Diego Riviera’s birthday, trying to share best Diego Riviera Quotes.

“If I ever loved a woman, the more I loved her, the more I wanted to hurt her. Frida was only the most obvious victim of this disgusting trait.”

“Through her paintings, she breaks all the taboos of the woman’s body and of female sexuality.” (talking of his wife Frida Kahlo)

Diego Rivera Quotes“Every good composition is above all a work of abstraction. All good painters know this. But the painter cannot dispense with subjects altogether without his work suffering impoverishment.”

“Never before had a woman put such agonizing poetry on canvas as Frida did.”

“I’ve never believed in God, but I believe in Picasso.”

Will Eisner Quotes


Will Eisner was an american comics writer, artist and entrepreneur. I want to celebrate his birthday in our own way, sharing Will Eisner Quotes.

A key to my thinking has always been the almost fanatical belief that what I was engaged in was a literary art form. That belief was compounded out of ego and necessity, I guess, a combination of the two.

Humor has historically been tied to the mores of the day. The Yellow Kid was predicated on what people thought was funny about the immigrant Irish. When you’re different in a society, you’re funny.

I want to point out to adults that there is a world of good material available to you now in comic form – in this medium – and learn to give it your support because the more you support it, the better the material will be as it comes out.

I’ve spent my whole life working in a medium that was regarded with contempt largely because of historical reasons.

The work we do is as demanding as any of the great painters because nothing that happens on the page of a comic is accidental. It has to be imagined first in your mind before you do it. Those of us who know something about the art of painting know that working on a canvas, very often a lot of serendipitous things happen that work to the advantage of the painter ultimately.

All professionals should teach at some time in their career because they are obliged to pass on what they have learned.

As for me, I am in pursuit of excellence. I have no time to get old.

You can’t talk about heartbreak to a kid.

Paul Cezanne Quotes

Today we share Paul Cezanne Quotes, celebrating him in our own way :)

A puny body weakens the soul.

A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I’m every inch a painter.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

An art which isn’t based on feeling isn’t an art at all.

Art is a harmony parallel with nature.

Don’t be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.

Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors.

For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.

Genius is the ability to renew one’s emotions in daily experience.

Here, on the river’s verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.

I allow no one to touch me.

I am a pupil of Pissarro.

I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.

I am the primitive of the method I have invented.

I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.

I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.

I have nothing to hide in art. The initial force alone can bring anyone to the end he must attain.

I have sworn to die painting.

I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.

I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
