First of all, the painter must have in his mind good idea about what he intends to do. But what is an idea? ... the idea of a painter is that image that, before taking shape in a drawing or in a picture, arises in the mind suddenly in relation to this story. D. Armenini

Artists, if you are jealous of the glory of your creations, here is my advice to you: stick to pure plots. Everything that vice preaches to man is doomed to destruction, and the more inevitable it is, the more perfect the creation. Almost none of the obscene and beautiful engravings that Giulio Romano executed after the plots of the shameless Aretino have survived. Honesty, virtue, chastity... petty remorse, prompted by prejudice, sooner or later, but will take up arms against immoral works. D. Diderot
Painting also knows flattery; at first glance, this flattery captivates, but soon becomes boring. D. Diderot
[ancient artist said] to a student who painted an overdressed Elena: “You didn’t know how to paint her beautiful, and therefore painted her richly dressed” ... G. Lessing
If you want to judge works of art, then first pass by what indicates perseverance and labor, and pay attention to what is created by the mind ... An image made with great painstaking work by a painter or sculptor can be compared in this respect with a painstakingly compiled book. For just as greatest art is not to write learnedly, so a finely and smoothly painted picture does not yet indicate a great artist. I. Winkelman

It is one thing to convey a face in those superficial and external features that the face of a person calmly sitting in front of a portraitist shows him precisely in this moment, and it is quite another thing to be able to portray those true features that are the expression of the real soul this person. For the ideal requires that the outer form itself should correspond to the soul. Hegel
Painting is an art in which the artist depicts passion through facial features and posture and excites the viewer with his attitude to the subject, sympathetic or ironic. Stendhal
It's not about learning to draw, it's about learning to think. Stendhal
Style in painting is a special manner of each master, peculiar only to him alone, to say the same things. Every great artist was looking for techniques that could cause in the soul that special impression that seemed to him main task painting. The choice of colors, the way they are applied with a brush, the distribution of shadows, some details, etc. enhance the style of the drawing. Stendhal
If an artist, like a photographer, reproduces only external features, if he writes off only lines, without referring them to a general character, it is not worth even talking about him. In facial features, he must first of all look for spiritual resemblance: that is the whole point. In a word, the features should be expressive, i.e. to reveal to us the soul of the model... the task of the artist is to separate truth from pretense. O. Rodin
Everything in art is ugly, everything that is insincere, artificial, everything that wants to appear beautiful and beautiful, and not characteristic, everything petty, refined, everything that smiles for no reason, coyness without need, swaggers and puts on airs without reason ... everything that lies. When an artist, wanting to “make it more beautiful”, depicts spring more green, sunrise more pink, young lips more scarlet, he creates a disgrace, because he is lying. When he hides the grimace of suffering, the decrepitude of old age, the abomination of debauchery, when he smoothes nature, blurs, dresses up, moderates it, in order to please the public, he creates an outrage, because he is afraid of the truth. O. Rodin
Of all artwork a bust and a portrait require the greatest insight... A good bust is tantamount to a whole biography. Each bust of Houdon, for example, is worth a chapter from some memoir: era, race, rank, individual character - everything is indicated in it. O. Rodin

In portraits famous people one should stick to the image of such as and by what he deserved his fame. I.N. Kramskoy
It seems to me fair that the artist should be one of the most educated and developed people of his time. He is obliged not only to know at what point development is now standing, but to have opinions on all questions of concern to the best representatives societies, opinions that go further and deeper than those that dominate at the moment, and in addition, have certain sympathies and antipathies for different categories of life phenomena. I.N. Kramskoy
Our job is content. The face, the soul of a person, the drama of life, the impressions of nature, its life and meaning, the spirit of history - these are our themes ... our colors are a tool, they must express our thoughts, our coloring is not graceful spots, it must express the mood of the picture to us , her soul, he must arrange and capture the entire viewer, like a chord in music. I.E. Repin
The portrait should be a picture and a characterization of the face. I.E. Repin
Here you draw a body that looks like a well-worn rag doll, and furnish it with a huge egg-shaped head with approximately human features and large burkalas, and sign something like "Eternity" or "Thoughtfulness." Of course, many will swear, but there are refined donkeys who, staring at the ground with their foreheads, will say: “There is something here after all.” A.V. Lunacharsky
Woe to the artist who seeks to show his talent and not his picture! Indeed, it would be ridiculous if the artist's most important thing was his hand. R. Rollan
When you wander among nature, you see movement in the field, in the forest, in the clouds, everything breathes, everything lives, and how clear, this is simply a manifestation of life! How much bliss, happiness to see in summer how the sun floods fields, forests, waters and sky with its rays! The smell of the earth, the aroma of the forest - what a charm it all is! There is a passionate desire to convey this on canvas. To convey the manifestation of life, its thrill. It is here that one has to experience a series of charms and disappointments. It is difficult, oh, how difficult it is to convey what you see and what you feel. But what high pleasure experiences the artist when he succeeds in giving a piece of real life! V.N. Baksheev
Works visual arts man lives not only in the halls art galleries and museums. How valuable is a silent conversation and alone with oneself, when canvases and statues come to life in the heart. It is only necessary not to close the doors to the temple of beauty in front of you, not to rob yourself, but to constantly train your taste, as well as your muscles. S.T. Konenkov
