To paint is to know how to put nothing on canvas, and have it look like something when you stand back.
In great art there is no beginning and end in point of time. All time is comprehended.
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.

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