It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.

Painting should never look as if it were done with difficulty, however difficult it may actually have been.

Because we are saturated with life, because we are human, our strongest motive is life, humanity; and the stronger the motive back of the line the stronger, and therefore more beautiful, the line will be.

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

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

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

All is as beautiful as we think it.
