A Curve does not exist in its full power until contrasted with a straight line.

Do not expect pictures to say the expected; some of the best will have surprises for you, which will, at first, shock you.

Whatever you feel or think your exact state at the exact moment of your brush touching the canvas is in some way registered in that stroke.

You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.

All manifestations of art are but landmarks in the progress of the human spirit toward a thing but as yet sensed and far from being possessed.

When the motives of artists are profound, when they are at their work as a result of deep consideration, when they believe in the importance of what they are doing, their work creates a stir in the world.

There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
