Many painters had a clear idea of what fractals are. take a french classic painter named poussin. now, he painted beautiful landscapes, completely artificial ones, imaginary landscapes. and how did he choose them? well, he had the balance of trees, of lawns, of houses in the distance. he had a balance of small objects, big objects, big trees in front and his balance of objects at every scale is what gives to poussin a special feeling.

More From Benoit Mandelbrot

Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile. you don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘you can't do a thing’. the canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerizes some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves. many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

When you talk about painters and you talk about painters painting masterpieces, there is no painter who painted only one painting and that was a masterpiece. you have to do a whole bunch of paintings to get to the place of mastering your craft.

When a buddha is painted, not only a clay altar or lump of earth is used, but the thirty-two marks, a blade of grass, and the cultivation of wisdom for incalculable eons are used. as a buddha has been painted on a single scroll in this way, all buddhas are painted buddhas, and all painted buddhas are actual buddhas.

I have a pet lizard named puff, five goldfish - named pinky, brain, jowels, pearl and sandy, an oscar fish named chef, two pacus, an albino african frog named whitey, a bonsai tree, four venus flytraps, a fruit fly farm and sea monkeys.

If it is the love of that which your work represents--if, being a landscape painter, it is love of hills and trees that moves you--if, being a figure painter, it is love of human beauty, and human soul that moves you--if, being a flower or animal painter, it is love, and wonder, and delight in petal and in limb that move you, then the spirit is upon you, and the earth is yours, and the fullness thereof.

Of course the dharma-body of the buddha was the hedge at the bottom of the garden. at the same time, and no less obviously, it was these flowers, it was anything that i - or rather the blessed not-i - cared to look at.

True beauty is a ray that springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
