Beauty is no material thing. Beauty cannot be copied. Beauty is the sensation of pleasure on the mind of the seer. No thing is beautiful. But all things await the sensitive and imaginative mind that may be aroused to pleasurable emotion at sight of them. This is beauty.

Do whatever you do intensely. The artist is the man who leaves the crowd and goes pioneering. With him there is an idea which is his life.

The ignorant are to be found as much among the educated as among the uneducated.

In every human being there is the artist, and whatever his activity, he has an equal chance with any to express the result of his growth and his contact with life. I don't believe any real artist cares whether what he does is 'art' or not. Who, after all, knows what art is?

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

Paint what you feel. Paint what you see. Paint what is real to you.

Through art mysterious bonds of understanding and of knowledge are established among men.
