Quote by Jackson Pollock

My painting does not come from the easel.

My painting does not come from the easel.

Summary

This quote suggests that the artist's inspiration and creativity do not solely originate from the physical act of painting at an easel. It implies that the source of artistic expression for the painter lies beyond the tangible techniques and tools, and instead, it stems from a deeper place within. The artist may find inspiration from personal experiences, emotions, or imagination, and then translates these intangible elements onto the canvas through the act of painting. In essence, this quote emphasizes that the true essence of art comes from within the artist themselves, rather than purely through the physical act of painting.

Philosophy [nature] is written in that great book which ever is before our eyes -- I mean the universe -- but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.

Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.
