Dana Schutz quotes

I often use hypothetical situations to generate information and imagery for paintings and to create a fictional space where a subject can be put into play. (Dana Schutz)
That's when I feel really excited about a painting. When it starts to feel real, when it feels like it has a personality. View quote
Dana Schutz
There are a lot of artists in Gowanus, and certain things come into your visual vocabulary from living there - the scale of the subway and the canal, sometimes it almost looks like a de Chirico painting, with the intense angles of the shadows and everything. View quote
Dana Schutz
I like the feeling of not knowing where to look when you are only performing for one person or watching someone practice. It creates this kind of a strange in-between, which can be mirrored in the feeling of making a painting. View quote
Dana Schutz
I'm never interested in the painting being a mirror to culture. I think that's really boring. What I'm interested in is painting as an affective space. The place where the hierarchies of the world can be rearranged within the space of a painting. And they can be articulated in different ways. View quote
