Art When Really Understood Is The Province

The Only Sensible Way To Regard The Art Life Is That It Is A Privilege You Are Willing To Pay For... You May Cite Honors And Attentions And Even Money Paid, But I Would Have You Note That These Were Paid A Long Time After The Creator Had Gone Through His Struggles.

By My Teaching I Hope To Inspire You To Personal Activity And To Present Your Vision.

The Pursuit Of Happiness Is A Great Activity. One Must Be Open And Alive. It Is The Greatest Feat Man Has To Accomplish, And Spirits Must Flow. There Must Be Courage. There Are No Easy Ruts To Get Into Which Lead To Happiness.

All Real Works Of Art Look As Though They Were Done In Joy.

Beauty Is No Material Thing. Beauty Cannot Be Copied. Beauty Is The Sensation Of Pleasure On The Mind Of The Seer. No Thing Is Beautiful. But All Things Await The Sensitive And Imaginative Mind That May Be Aroused To Pleasurable Emotion At Sight Of Them. This Is Beauty.
