Do Not Expect Pictures To

Completion Does Not Depend On Material Representation. The Work Is Done When That Special Thing Has Been Said.

Work Always As If You Were A Master, Expect From Yourself A Masterpiece.

The Pictures Which Do Not Represent An Intense Interest Cannot Expect To Create An Intense Interest.

Good Composition Is Like A Suspension Bridge; Each Line Adds Strength And Takes None Away... Making Lines Run Into Each Other Is Not Composition. There Must Be Motive For The Connection. Get The Art Of Controlling The Observer – That Is Composition.

Know What The Old Masters Did. Know How They Composed Their Pictures, But Do Not Fall Into The Conventions They Established. These Conventions Were Right For Them, And They Are Wonderful. They Made Their Language. You Make Yours. All The Past Can Help You.
