In great art there is no beginning and end in point of time. All time is comprehended.
Don't worry about your originality. You couldn't get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick with you and show up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do.
The real artist's work is a surprise to himself.
A weak background is a deadly thing.
I am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living.
The pictures which do not represent an intense interest cannot expect to create an intense interest.
