Artists Must Be Men Of

All Is As Beautiful As We Think It.

To Have Ideas One Must Have Imagination. To Express Ideas One Must Have Science.

There Are People Who Buy Pictures Because They Were Difficult To Do, And Are Done. Such Pictures Are Often Only A Record Of Pain And Dull Perseverance. Great Works Of Art Should Look As Though They Were Made In Joy. Real Joy Is A Tremendous Activity, Dull Drudgery Is Nothing To It.

All Education Must Be Self-education.

The Only Sensible Way To Regard The Art Life Is That It Is A Privilege You Are Willing To Pay For... You May Cite Honors And Attentions And Even Money Paid, But I Would Have You Note That These Were Paid A Long Time After The Creator Had Gone Through His Struggles.
