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

There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body.

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

Work always as if you were a master, expect from yourself a masterpiece.

To paint is to know how to put nothing on canvas, and have it look like something when you stand back.

Art is the giving by each man of his evidence to the world. Those who wish to give, love to give, discover the pleasure of giving. Those who give are tremendously strong.

Do not expect pictures to say the expected; some of the best will have surprises for you, which will, at first, shock you.
