Art Is Not The Spiritual Side Of

An Artist Who Dedicates His Life To Art, Burdens His Art With His Life, And His Life With His Art.

We All Name Ourselves. We Call Ourselves Artists. Nobody Asks Us. Nobody Says You Are Or You Aren't.

Now Almost Every Artist Outside Of New York Is Connected With Some School Or Some Museum School, And Even In New York The Majority Are. That's An Interesting Fact When You Take The Idea Of Making Money, Making A Living Selling Paintings. Only A Dozen Or Two Painters Do That.

The Artist Should Once And Forever Emancipate Himself From The Bondage Of Appearance.

The Ugliest Spectacle Is That Of Artists Selling Themselves. Art As A Commodity Is An Ugly Idea... The Artist As Businessman Is Uglier Than The Businessman As Artist.
