Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.

Drawing instruction is a training towards perception, exact observation and exact presentation not of the outward appearances of an object, but of its constructive elements, its lawful forces-tensions, which can be discovered in given objects and of the logical structures of same-education toward clear observation and clear rendering of the contexts, whereby surface phenomena are an introductory step towards the three-dimensional.

There is no must in art because art is free.

Everything that is dead quivers. Not only the things of poetry, stars, moon, wood, flowers, but even a white trouser button glittering out of a puddle in the street... Everything has a secret soul, which is silent more often than it speaks.

That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.

Every artist, as child of his age, is impelled to express the spirit of his age.

Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.
