All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.

Don't stop to paint the material, but push on to give the spirit.

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

Everything depends on the attitude of the artist toward his subject. It is essential.

The pictures which do not represent an intense interest cannot expect to create an intense interest.

The most vital things in the look of a landscape endure only for a moment. Work should be done from memory; memory of that vital moment.

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