Memorable Painting Chickens

More From Grandma Moses

My biggest faults is that the faults i was born with grow bigger each year. it's like i was raising chickens inside me. the chickens lay eggs and the eggs hatch into other chickens, which then lay eggs. is this any way to live a life? what with all these faults i've got going, i have to wonder. sure, i get by. but in the end, that's not the question, is it?

All that stuff about flatness - it's this idea that painting is a specialized discipline and that modernist painting increasingly refers to painting and is refining the laws of painting. but who cares about painting? what we care about is that the planet is heating up, species are disappearing, there's war, and there are beautiful girls here in brooklyn on the avenue and there's food and flowers.

Really it's all about what's inside the superman suit. how you feel about yourself when you put that on because it's very revealing and very imposing if worn with confidence, i suppose. the first time i wore it, i didn't have that as much. i hadn't really trained any, yet. i hadn't read the script, i hadn't really worked on the character at that point. and i was standing around with a room full of costume designers and everybody was judging me right away and going, "don't make your judgment on it, if this is superman quite yet or not," because i hadn't done all the work that i would later do.
Character Judging Done
When i am in a painting, i'm not aware of what i'm doing. it is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that i see what i have been about. i have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. i try to let it come through. it is only when i lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
Giving Trying Etc
The painting is always done very much with [the model's] co-operation. the problem with painting a nude, of course, is that it deepens the transaction. you can scrap a painting of someone's face and it imperils the sitter's self-esteem less than scrapping a painting of the whole naked body.
Self Esteem Body Faces
Fox hunting, there's big fox hunting thing, there's arguments in britain about fox hunting. and they go around. they obviously hunt foxes because the foxes, they attack chickens. and posh people have an alliance with chickens just like in the first world war.

In less than seven years the vestiges of the gothic invasion were almost obliterated, and the city appeared to resume its former splendour and tranquillity. the venerable matron replaced her crown of laurel, which had been ruffled by the storms of war, and was still amused in the last moment of her decay with the prophecies of revenge, of victory, and of eternal dominion.
