The sense of motion (movement)  in painting and sculpture has long been considered as one of the primary elements of the composition. ~ Alexander Calder I remember seeing this Picasso drawing of a horse where he had erased a couple of legs and redrawn them. It really gave the drawing movement – not just physical movement, but phantom movement. The thing moved intellectually. (Elliott Green)
All creative activity begins with movement. (Joseph Zinker) The rhythm of movement, similar to the movement of huge oncoming ocean waves, leads to an impression of unchangeable infinity of the natural cycle... (Milos Vujasinovic) If the artist succeeds in producing the impression of a movement which takes several moments for accomplishment, his work is certainly much less conventional than the scientific image, where time is abruptly suspended. (Auguste Rodin) A horizontal or vertical line lacks energy, compared with one that deviates from either. The difference between these graphic expressions is the difference between movement and repose. (Walter J. Phillips) I'm interested in the movement of the eyes across the painting. (Guido Molinari)

 

People call me the painter of dancers, but I really wish to capture movement itself. (Edgar Degas)
A modeled form is less striking than one which is not. Modeling prevents shock and limits movement to the visual depth. Without modeling or chiaroscuro depth is limitless: movement can stretch to infinity. (Joan Miro) I try to get at the inner structure first to re-create the movement inside the form. (Jeanean Songco Martin) Eye movement is the name of the game. If you keep the eye moving around the piece, you can get folks to look at your piece longer than they will look at someone else's. (Eva Kosinski) The artist is concerned not with a single focal point but with the unfolding of many layers of movement within a fluid language of images. (Una Johnson) Music loud, I can't help but wiggle a bit and I think that movement finds its way into the paintings... I can see it in the strokes. (Laura Harris)
