"I liked sculpting better than painting. You have more freedom in sculpting"

- Anthony Quinn

About this Quote

This quote by Anthony Quinn speaks to the creative liberty that sculpting offers compared to painting. Sculpting permits the artist to produce a three-dimensional type, while painting is limited to 2 measurements. Shaping also allows the artist to deal with a range of products, such as clay, stone, wood, and metal, while painting is limited to canvas and paint. Furthermore, sculpting allows the artist to develop a piece that can be viewed from several angles, while painting is restricted to a single point of view. The tactile nature of sculpting also allows the artist to feel the material and manipulate it in ways that painting does not. All of these elements integrate to produce a greater sense of freedom for the sculptor, which is why Anthony Quinn preferred it to painting.
