Why Should I Copy This Owl, This

I Put In My Pictures Everything I Like. So Much The Worse For The Things - They Have To Get Along With One Another.

The Purpose Of Art Is To Create Enthusiasm.

The Only Pictorial Matter That Is Of Interest To Me Is The Matter And Sentiments Brought About By The Work Itself.

It Means Nothing To Me. I Have No Opinion About It, And I Don't Care.

The Academic Teaching On Beauty Is False. We Have Been Misled, But So Completely Misled That We Can No Longer Find So Much As A Shadow Of A Truth Again. The Beauties Of The Parthenon, The Venuses, The Nymphs, The Narcisusses, Are So May Lies. Art Is Not The Application Of A Canon Of Beauty, But What The Instinct And The Brain Can Conceive Independently Of That Canon.
