Zitat des Tages von Elizabeth Peyton:
You really need faith in yourself to make art and to stand up for what you believe in.
Romanticism is not just about being in a fixed state of endless beauty, because you can't live like that or live on that, that's what I've learnt.
No one is famous when they wake up in the morning, so it's nice seeing people in moments when they're just being themselves.
I don't rise to the occasion unless I'm really moved.
To paint well, I need to be enraptured by my subjects.
I think it is such an amazing moment when people realize what they are and what they can be, and they start putting themselves out into the world. I think you can see it in people when it's happening. They look different.
I lived in London for a time in the '90s and I love it here. You know, I just go and see shows and have great dinners and walk around.
A painting of a person can be descriptive, but for me it's about all the things that make up a picture - the feelings, the brushstrokes - more than describing somebody. People latch on to the personalities when they talk about my work and forget the other parts.
