Art Cannot Result From Sophisticated, Frivolous, Or

A Work Of Art Is Finished, From The Point Of View Of The Artist, When Feeling And Perception Have Resulted In A Spiritual Synthesis.

Space Expands Or Contracts In The Tensions And Functions Through Which It Exists. Space Is Not A Static, Inert Thing. Space Is Alive; Space Is Dynamic; Space Is Imbued With Movement Expressed By Forces And Counterforces; Space Vibrates And Resounds With Color, Light And Form In The Rhythm Of Life.

The Creative Process Lies Not In Imitating, But In Paralleling Nature - Translating The Impulse Received From Nature Into The Medium Of Expression, Thus Vitalizing This Medium. The Picture Should Be Alive, The Statue Should Be Alive, And Every Work Of Art Should Be Alive.

The Product Of Movement And Counter-movement Is Tension. When Tension Working Strength Is Expressed, It Endows The Work Of Art With The Living Effect Of Coordinated, Though Opposing, Forces.

Creation Is Dominated By Three Absolutely Different Factors: First, Nature, Which Works Upon Us By Its Laws; Second, The Artist, Who Creates A Spiritual Contact With Nature And His Materials; Third, The Medium Of Expression Through Which The Artist Translates His Inner World.
