Tom Robbins Quotes About Painting

Quotes about: Painting

• My paintings are very strange - large and empty, like walls. Just the opposite of my writing, which is rich and juicy.

  Tom Robbins

  Wall, Writing, Opposites

• I don't have a very high opinion, actually, of the world of criticism - or the practice of criticism. I think I admire art criticism, criticism of painting and sculpture, far more than I do that of say films and books, literary or film criticism. But I don't much like the practice. I think there are an awful lot of bad people in it.

  Tom Robbins

  Art, Book, Thinking

• I go into a gallery or museum, and I realize that I don't have to formulate any opinions if I don't want to. I don't have to think this thing through and write about it at any great length. I can think about it if I want to; if not, I can just walk out. So I can enjoy painting really a lot more than I could when I had that sort of pressure.
