I find in all the artists that I admire most a disturbing element, a distortion, giving evidence of a struggle . . . . In great art, this conflict is hidden, it is unresolved. All that is bursting with energy is disturbing - not perfect.
To be an artist is to believe in life.
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
A piece of sculpture can have a hole through it and not be weakened if the hole is of a studied size, shape, and direction.
