All is as beautiful as we think it.

Colors are beautiful when they are significant.

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

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

Fight with yourself when you paint, not with the model. A student is one who struggles with himself for order.

Art tends toward balance, order, judgment of relative values, the laws of growth, the economy of living – very good things for anyone to be interested in.

Do whatever you do intensely. The artist is the man who leaves the crowd and goes pioneering. With him there is an idea which is his life.
