Personal experimentation is revealing, and once you get into it, immensely engaging.

To have ideas one must have imagination. To express ideas one must have science.

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

Art is, after all, only a trace – like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.

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

You form a society: that limits you. Adopt a name, and you've limited yourself again; draw up a constitution and bylaws and you've made a groove, a rut, that hampers your growth. You think you can fix your course and move straight along it. But sometimes the important thing is to strike out sidewise.

The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.
