Art after all is but an extension of language to the expression of sensations too subtle for words.

The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.

A weak background is a deadly thing.

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.

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

Do not let the fact that things are not made for you, that conditions are not as they should be stop you. Go on anyway. Everything depends on those who go on anyway.

By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.
