Guido Molinari Quotes



Quotes by Guido Molinari - (13 quotes)

Guido Molinari - From the Colour category:

I choose color on the spur of the moment. People ask me why I paint in red. I do not have the slightest idea. I was painting in blue, then I had a need to paint in red. To be able to interact with the medium, this is the key. There are no sure ways to do art. (Guido Molinari)

Guido Molinari - From the Exhaustion category:

Anything is of course inexhaustible, because at each moment the brain has a different pattern to construct. (Guido Molinari)

Just listening carefully to what the musicians are really doing, putting the music in the right time... I became aware of the degree to which time, and therefore duration, was important in music and in art. It had a direct influence on my painting. (Guido Molinari)

Guido Molinari - From the Painting category:

With monochrome painting... the idiosyncrasy of the work, its difference, its expression, lies in shape. (Guido Molinari)

Guido Molinari - From the Questions category:

The question of painting is bound up with epistemology, with the engagement of the viewer, with what the viewer may learn. (Guido Molinari)

Guido Molinari - From the Seeing category:

Seeing is looking at something in saturation. But we tend to look at something for, say, 1/30 of a second. (Guido Molinari)

Guido Molinari - From the Space category:

You begin by engaging the left hemisphere of the brain with the overall shape, the basic structure of the painting, and then eventually you engage with the colour, with the mood of the painting and then you are entering the activities of the right hemisphere - and it is in the right hemisphere that ideas of space are born, the realization that you are seeing space. (Guido Molinari)
