"I paint with my prick" This is my most favorite quote of any and all of the artist I have ever heard. It is so raw and real. Alright so it is a bit crass, but nobody ever said an artist was good with words. That in and of itself is is why artists create. Because they arent good with words.
What Renoir meant by this is that he paints that which emotionally excites him. In other words he painted what turned him on. If you study his paintings you can feel his passion and sense his dreaminess and feelings about his subjects. To put it his way... I can see his orgasm in his finished work.
I get it. Sex is a basic and knowing instinct by just about every human being alive. To correlate the desire of sex, and how an artist feels about performing his/her art in genius. To be without either is dehumanizing. Many people dont feel that way about their profession but an artist is different. It is another basic need, just like sex.
