Porträt / Portrait Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Porträt / Portrait:

In Edna, I created a satiric portrait of my hometown of Melbourne, a large provincial English city paradoxically in far Southeast Asia. She's a theatrical figure, related to vaudeville in some respects. She inhabits a world in which there are comparatively few female exponents of comedy. Barry Humphries

I would hardly call myself an artist in that sense; I doodle, I draw, I'm not a trained artist, I couldn't sit down and do an accurate portrait of anyone.

Rene Auberjonois

When having my portrait painted I don't want justice, I want mercy.

Billy Hughes

The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

It is done... the precious portrait placed in the hands of the gentlemen for safe keeping.

Dolley Madison

The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The dog is the perfect portrait subject. He doesn't pose. He isn't aware of the camera.

Patrick Demarchelier

I do have my own personal convictions and values, and I live by those. But as an artist, as a portrait photographer, my job is to tell the truth and to capture someone's spirit on a certain day. And it's never the whole truth; it's the truth I experience in a very intense and intimate fashion.

Platon

It takes a long time for a man to look like his portrait.

James Whistler

Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.

John Singer Sargent

When I paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness.

Edvard Munch

The portrait of my parents is a complicated one, but lovingly drawn.

Joyce Maynard

So, did I work with Warhol? I worked with him less on that play then I did on other things. He actually did a portrait of my rabbit and some other stuff. Warhol was definitely... Warhol.

Harvey Fierstein

It took the Metropolitan Museum of Art nearly 50 years to wake up to Pablo Picasso. It didn't own one of his paintings until 1946, when Gertrude Stein bequeathed that indomitable quasi-Cubistic picture of herself - a portrait of the writer as a sumo Buddha - to the Met, principally because she disliked the Museum of Modern Art.

Jerry Saltz

I wanted to avoid all that literary stuff. I didn't want the self pity of 'The Portrait,' all the moaning and the whingeing. I'm not knocking Joyce: we all owe him a debt. He's the one who made so much possible.

Frank McCourt

At the unveiling at the White House of the presidential portrait, President Bush pointed out that Hillary Clinton was the first sitting Senator in history to have her portrait hanging in the White House.

Eleanor Clift

Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.

Oscar Wilde

I struck upon this kind of crazy idea that I was going to go to New York and stop 10,000 people on the streets and take their portrait and create kind of a photographic census of the city.

Brandon Stanton

Today we hear that the gains from economic growth accrue to the highest-income earners while the standard of living of the poor and middle America stagnates and the gap between the richest and the poorest grows ever wider. That portrait of the country is wrong.

Kevin Hassett

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

Helmut Newton

For me, an aerial picture is no different than a close-up portrait. It's a question of framing and angle. Helicopters are great for that. But I've also used planes. Of course, I always have a harness.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand

We demand that people should be true to the pictures we have of them, no matter how repulsive those pictures may be: we prefer the true portrait in all its homogeneity, to one with a detail added which refuses to fit in.

Pamela Hansford Johnson

I think the best way to view the Gospels is to view them as a magnificent portrait being painted by Jewish artists to try to capture the essence of a God experience that they believe they had with Jesus of Nazareth.

John Shelby Spong

I'm related to the portrait painter George Romney.

Wavy Gravy

The landscape is like being there with a powerful personality and I'm searching for just the right angles to make that portrait come across as meaningfully as possible.

Galen Rowell

Why, on my mother's birthday, am I thinking about 'Father Knows Best?' At our house, mother knew best at least as often as father did, but then the title of the old sitcom, a homogenized portrait of American family life, was meant to be slightly sardonic.

Tom Shales

The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective.

Berenice Abbott

I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.

Frida Kahlo

The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.

Meryl Streep

I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea.

Karl Lagerfeld

In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.

Annie Leibovitz

A journalist is supposed to present an unbiased portrait of an event, a view devoid of intimate emotions. This is impossible, of course. The framing of an image, by its very composition, represents a choice. The photographer chooses what to show and what to exclude.

Alexandra Kerry

The length of exposure (one minute in sunlight) is still too long for the portrait. It was fifteen minutes when I first began my work. Progress may continue.

Gabriel Lippmann

On the personal side, I was rock climbing and taking pictures with my friends. We took all sorts of portrait and action pictures, and I was thinking at the time that these are inherently difficult to focus correctly.

Ren Ng

I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other, whilst not jeopardizing the greater good - which is the family.

Rachel Griffiths

In Edna, I created a satiric portrait of my hometown of Melbourne, a large provincial English city paradoxically in far Southeast Asia. She's a theatrical figure, related to vaudeville in some respects. She inhabits a world in which there are comparatively few female exponents of comedy.

Barry Humphries

I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.

Salvador Dali
