Good Painting Is The Kind That Looks

Good Painting Is The Kind That Looks Like Sculpture.

So Now, From This Mad Passion Which Made Me Take Art For An Idol And A King I Have Learnt The Burden Of Error That It Bore And What Misfortune Springs From Man's Desire... The World's Frivolities Have Robbed Me Of The Time That I Was Given For Reflecting Upon God.

One Paints With One's Head, Not One's Hand.

Whenever A Great Painter... Does A Work Which Appears To Be False And Lying, That Falsity Is Very True.

The Promises Of This World Are, For The Most Part, Vain Phantoms; And To Confide In One's Self, And Become Something Of Worth And Value Is The Best And Safest Course.
