All Education Must Be Self-education.

Keep A Bad Drawing Until By Study You Have Found Out Why It Is Bad.

Each Man Must Take The Material That He Finds At Hand, See That In It There Are The Big Truths Of Life, The Fundamentally Big Forces, And Then Express In His Art Whatever Is The Cause Of His Pleasure.

Those Who Cannot Begin Do Not Finish.

Art When Really Understood Is The Province Of Every Human Being. It Is Simply A Question Of Doing Things, Anything, Well. It Is Not An Outside, Extra Thing.

There Are People Who Buy Pictures Because They Were Difficult To Do, And Are Done. Such Pictures Are Often Only A Record Of Pain And Dull Perseverance. Great Works Of Art Should Look As Though They Were Made In Joy. Real Joy Is A Tremendous Activity, Dull Drudgery Is Nothing To It.
