Do Whatever You Do Intensely.

What We Need Is More Sense Of The Wonder Of Life And Less Of This Business Of Making A Picture.

Your Painting Is The Marking Of Your Progression Into Nature, A Sensation Of Something You See Way Beyond The Two Pretty Colors Over There. Don't Stop To Paint The Material, But Push On To Give The Spirit.

It Is Harder To See Than It Is To Express. The Whole Value Of Art Rests In The Artist's Ability To See Well Into What Is Before Him. ... The Model Will Serve Equally For A Rembrandt Drawing Or For Anybody's Magazine Cover. A Genius Is One Who Can See. The Others Can Often 'draw' Remarkably Well. ... Those Who Get Their Technique First, Expecting Sight To Come To Them Later, Get A Technique Of A Very Ready-made Order.

There Are Forms That Can Only Be Seen When You Are Near A Painting, Others Only Appear When You Are Far Away.

After All, The Goal Is Not Making Art. It Is Living A Life. Those Who Live Their Lives Will Leave The Stuff That Is Really Art.
