Art appreciation, like love, cannot be done by proxy.

There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.

When the motives of artists are profound, when they are at their work as a result of deep consideration, when they believe in the importance of what they are doing, their work creates a stir in the world.

Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not.

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

Artists must be men of wit, consciously or unconsciously philosophers; read, study and think a great deal of life.

What we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.
