Seeing Is In Itself A Creative Act Which Requires Effort.

Creation Is The Artist's True Function; Where There Is No Creation There Is No Art.

Cezanne, You See, Is A Sort Of God Of Painting.

We Ought To View Ourselves With The Same Curiosity And Openness With Which We Study A Tree, The Sky Or A Thought, Because We Too Are Linked To The Entire Universe.

It Would Be A Mistake To Ascribe This Creative Power To An Inborn Talent. In Art, The Genius Creator Is Not Just A Gifted Being, But A Person Who Has Succeeded In Arranging For Their Appointed End, A Complex Of Activities, Of Which The Work Is The Outcome. The Artist Begins With A Vision — A Creative Operation Requiring An Effort. Creativity Takes Courage.
