"If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint"

- Edward Hopper

About this Quote

This quote means that art, specifically paint, has the power to share feelings as well as ideas that words can not. If it could be shared in words, then there would certainly be no need for a visual representation via painting. The quote talks with the one-of-a-kind capability of aesthetic art to communicate definition in a different way than language can.
