Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.

A hint - don't paint too much direct from nature. Art is an abstraction! study nature then brood on it and treasure the creation which will result, which is the only way to ascend towards God - to create like our Divine Master.

The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.

Civilization is paralysis.

Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.

Art is either revolution or plagiarism

There is always a heavy demand for fresh mediocrity. In every generation the least cultivated taste has the largest appetite.
