To Be An Artist Is

The Whole Of Nature Is An Endless Demonstration Of Shape And Form. It Always Surprises Me When Artists Try To Escape From This.

Sculpture Is An Art Of The Open Air... I Would Rather Have A Piece Of My Sculpture Put In A Landscape, Almost Any Landscape, Than In, Or On, The Most Beautiful Building I Know.

All Art Should Have A Certain Mystery And Should Make Demands On The Spectator. Giving A Sculpture Or A Drawing Too Explicit A Title Takes Away Part Of That Mystery So That The Spectator Moves On To The Next Object, Making No Effort To Ponder The Meaning Of What He Has Just Seen. Everyone Thinks That He Or She Looks But They Don't Really, You Know.

The Observation Of Nature Is Part Of An Artist's Life.

Art Is A Continuous Activity With No Separation Between Past And Present.
