Being An Artist Is Celebrating Life.

The Whole Of Nature Is An Endless Demonstration Of Shape And Form. It Always Surprises Me When Artists Try To Escape From This.

You Must Always Be Open To Your Luck. You Cannot Force It, But You Can Recognize It.

The Observation Of Nature Is Part Of An Artist's Life.

Because A Work Does Not Aim At Reproducing Natural Appearances It Is Not, Therefore, An Escape From Life -- But May Be A Penetration Into Reality...as Expression Of The Significance Of Life, A Stimulation To Greater Effort In Living.

The Construction Of The Human Figure, Its Tremendous Variety Of Balance, Of Size, Of Rhythm, All Those Things Make The Human Form Much More Difficult To Get Right In A Drawing Than Anything Else.
