Art Is To Make Our Lives Richer

Art Is The Expression Of Imagination, Not The Reproduction Of Reality.

If An Artist Tries Consciously To Do Something To Others, It Is To Stretch Their Eyes, Their Thoughts, To Something They Would Not See Or Feel If The Artist Had Not Done It. To Do This, He Has To Stretch His Own First.

The Construction Of The Human Figure, Its Tremendous Variety Of Balance, Of Size, Of Rhythm, All Those Things Make The Human Form Much More Difficult To Get Right In A Drawing Than Anything Else.
