Everything... has to be resolved through rhythms. You're constantly massaging each form, trying to get it home, pushing further and further until these all coalesce into a marvellous kind of rhythm that reveals the life of the painting. (Leland Bell)
'Organic'... means that the work is an extension of your blood and body: it has the rhythm of nature. There exists a state of feeling that when you reach it, when you hit it, you can't go wrong. The work carries a body rhythm. You can't do the slick... the gimmicky or dishonest. (Nell Blaine)
In my use of color I aim to reinforce the sensation of light and dark, to develop the rhythm to and from the eye by placing on the canvas the colors which, by their depressive or stimulating qualities, approach or recede in the rhythmic scheme of the picture. (Andrew Dasburg)
I pay close attention to the variety of shapes and sizes, and place the objects so that the lines and edges create a rhythm that guides the viewer's eye around the image and into the focal point. (Sergei Forostovskii)
I like to first create an underpainting to set up the rhythm of lights and darks. (Amanda Jones)
I guess I like to find the rhythm in things. (Tiko Kerr)
I never violate an inner rhythm. I loathe to force anything... I don't know if the inner rhythm is Eastern or Western. I know it is essential for me. I listen to it and I stay with it. I have always been this way. I have regards for the inner voice. (Lee Krasner)
Rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous. (Yehudi Menuhin)
Rhythm is as necessary in a picture as pigment; it is as much a part of painting as of music. (Walter J. Phillips)
There is always a flowing rhythm of shape that links the head and shoulders together. (Sally Pullen)
It is in rhythm that design and life meet. (Philip Rawson)
The rhythm of creative stimulus drives us all. (Jo Scott-B)
I see something – some conjunction of forms – which dominates all others. There is a sudden recognition that in what I have been looking at there is contained a unique series of rhythms... A shiver down the spine arrives to prove the validity of such an encounter. (Graham Sutherland)
A spiritual poker of a lyrist had shaped a poetic ardor emerging hereby in a rhythmic beating... (Milos Vujasinovic)
The domain of rhythm extends from the spiritual to the carnal. (Bruno Walter)
