In Great Art There Is No Beginning

Art When Really Understood Is The Province Of Every Human Being. It Is Simply A Question Of Doing Things, Anything, Well. It Is Not An Outside, Extra Thing.

A Weak Background Is A Deadly Thing.

It Is Harder To See Than It Is To Express. The Whole Value Of Art Rests In The Artist's Ability To See Well Into What Is Before Him.

Students Work In Schools Making Life Studies For Years, Win Prizes For Life Studies And Find In The End That They Know Practically Nothing Of The Human Figure. They Have Acquired The Ability To Copy.

Your Painting Is The Marking Of Your Progression Into Nature, A Sensation Of Something You See Way Beyond The Two Pretty Colors Over There. Don't Stop To Paint The Material, But Push On To Give The Spirit.
