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.

A GREAT PAINTER will know a great deal about how he did it, but still he will say, “How did I do it?

Paint what you feel. Paint what you see. Paint what is real to you.

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.

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.

Painting should never look as if it were done with difficulty, however difficult it may actually have been.

The real artist's work is a surprise to himself.
