The sensations of colors on the palette can be spiritual experiences.

A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art.

Everything starts from a dot.

The artist must have something to say, for mastery over form is not his goal but rather the adapting of form to its inner meaning.

An empty canvas, apparently really empty, that says nothing and is without significance – almost dull, in fact – in reality, is crammed with thousands of undertone tensions and full of expectancy. Slightly apprehensive lest it should be outraged.

Music is the ultimate teacher.

The arts are encroaching one upon another, and from a proper use of this encroachment will rise the art that is truly monumental.
