You say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.

An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all... feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end; craft, objective, technique - all these are in the middle.

What I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.

For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.

You say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.

Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
