The Fascinating Thing, Is Not

It Is All Very Well To Copy What One Sees, But It Is Far Better To Draw What One Now Only Sees In One's Memory. That Is A Transformation In Which Imagination Collaborates With Memory.

A Picture Is A Thing Which Requires As Much Knavery, As Much Malice, And As Much Vice As The Perpetration Of A Crime. Make It Untrue And Add An Accent Of Truth.

Drawing Is The Artist's Most Direct And Spontaneous Expression, A Species Of Writing: It Reveals, Better Than Does Painting, His True Personality.

Drawing Is Your Understanding Of Form.

The Fascinating Thing, Is Not To Show The Source Of Light, But The Effect Of Light.
