“In pursuing our science, we ought first to make a careful survey of the difficulties which confront us at the outset. Among them would be the diverse ways in which others have dealt with our problems and in addition any points that may have been overlooked. To have stated well the difficulties is a good start for those who wish to overcome them; for what follows is, of course, the solution of those very difficulties, and no one can untangle a knot which he does not see.”

Notes on Process

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:47:00 -0400

Degas: Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.

Juan Gris: You are lost the instant you know what the result will be.

Paul Gardner: A painting is never finished – it simply stops in interesting places.

Robert Motherwell: In the brush doing what it’s doing, it will stumble on what one couldn’t do oneself.

Jung: The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity.

Albert Szant-Gyorgyi: A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.

Rumi: Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.

Picasso: For me each painting is a study. I say to myself, I am going one day to finish it, make a finished thing of it. But as soon as I start to finish it, it becomes another painting, and I think I am going to redo it. Well, it is always something else in the end. If I retouch, I make a new painting.
