The Enormous Pitfall Is Devotion

Beauty And Happiness And Life Are All The Same And They Are Pervasive, Unattached And Abstract And They Are Our Only Concern. They Are Immeasurable, Completely Lacking In Substance. They Are Perfect And Sublime. This Is The Subject Matter Of Art.

Any Material May Be Used But The Theme Is The Same And The Response Is The Same For All Artwork... We All Have The Same Concern, But The Artist Must Know Exactly What The Experience Is. He Must Pursue The Truth Relentlessly

I Used To Meditate Until I Learned To Stop Thinking.

That Which Takes Us By Surprise-moments Of Happiness-that Is Inspiration.

I Want To Emphasize The Fact That We All Have The Same Experience And The Same Concern, But The Artist Must Know Exactly What The Experience Is. He Must Pursue The Truth Relentlessly. Once He Sees This Fact His Feet Are On The Path. If You Want To Know The Truth You Will Know It. The Manipulation Of Materials In An Artwork Is A Result Of This State Of Mind. The Artist Works By Awareness Of His Own State Of Mind.
