By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.

The pictures which do not represent an intense interest cannot expect to create an intense interest.

To paint is to know how to put nothing on canvas, and have it look like something when you stand back.

Do whatever you do intensely.

Art need not be intended. It comes inevitably as the tree from the root, the branch from the trunk, the blossom from the twig. None of these forget the present in looking backward or forward. They are occupied wholly with the fulfillment of their own existence.

The man who has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art.

Art appreciation, like love, cannot be done by proxy.
