Art when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing.

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

Perhaps whatever there is in my work that may be really interesting to others and surely what is interesting to me, is the result of a sometimes successful effort to free myself from any idea that what I produce must be art.

Art appreciation, like love, cannot be done by proxy: It is a very personal affair and is necessary to each individual.

Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.

Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves.

Your style is the way you talk in paint.
