Art cannot result from sophisticated, frivolous, or superficial effects.

A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

The art of pictorial creation is so complicated - it is so astronomical in its possibilities of relation and combination that it would take an act of super-human concentration to explain the final realization.

The truly monumental can only come about by means of the most exact and refined relation between parts. Since each thing carries both a meaning of its own and an associated meaning in relation to something else - its essential value is relative. We speak of the mood we experience when looking at a landscape. This mood results from the relation of certain things rather than from their separate actualities. This is because objects do not in themselves possess the total effect they give when interrelated.

A thought functions only as a fragmentary part in the formulation of an idea.

Being inexhaustible, life and nature are a constant stimulus for a creative mind.
