If a certain activity, such as painting, becomes the habitual mode of expression, it may follow that taking up the painting materials and beginning work with them will act suggestively and so presently evoke a flight into the higher state.

All manifestations of art are but landmarks in the progress of the human spirit toward a thing but as yet sensed and far from being possessed.

The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.

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.

Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves.

Your style is the way you talk in paint.

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