View all Edward Hopper Quotes

Just to paint a representation or design is not hard, but to express a thought in painting is. Thought is fluid. What you put on canvas is concrete, and it tends to direct the thought. The more you punt on canvas the more you lose control of the thought. I've never been able to paint what I set out to paint.

Edward Hopper

In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
