I Can't Understand How Anyone Is Able

Nature's Purpose In Relation To The Visual Arts Is To Provide Stimulus Not Imitation. From Its Ceaseless Urge To Create Springs All Life - All Movement And Rhythm - Time And Light, Color And Mood - In Short, All Reality In Form And Thought.

I Can't Understand How Anyone Is Able To Paint Without Optimism.

To Me, Art Is The Glorification Of The Human Spirit.

The General Misunderstanding Of A Work Of Art Is Often Due To The Fact That The Key To Its Spiritual Content And Technical Means Is Missed. Unless The Observer Is Trained To A Certain Degree In The Artistic Idiom, He Is Apt To Search For Things Which Have Little To Do With The Aesthetic Content Of A Picture. He Is Likely To Look For Pure Representational Values When The Emphasis Is Really Upon Music-like Relationships.

Art Cannot Result From Sophisticated, Frivolous, Or Superficial Effects.
