Fine Art Is Knowledge Made

Beauty, Like Truth, Is Relative To The Time When One Lives And To The Individual Who Can Grasp It.

I Am Not One Who Was Born In The Custody Of Wisdom; I Am One Who Is Fond Of Olden Times And Intense In Quest Of The Sacred Knowing Of The Ancients.

Painting Is An Essentially Concrete Art And Can Only Consist Of The Representation Of Real And Existing Things.

The Expression Of Beauty Is In Direct Ratio To The Power Of Conception The Artist Has Acquired.

I Hope To Live All My Life For My Art, Without Abandoning My Principles One Iota, Without . . . Having Painted As Much As You Can Cover With Your Hand, To Please Somebody Or In Order To Sell The Picture More Easily.
