It's A Poor Artist Who Borrows--a Good

I Deal With Painting As I Deal With Things, I Paint A Window Just As I Look Out Of A Window. If An Open Window Looks Wrong In A Picture, I Draw The Curtain And Shut It, Just As I Would In My Own Room. In Painting, As In Life, You Must Act Directly.

An Artist Must Be Very Careful Not To Look For Models. As Soon As One Artist Takes Another As Model, He Is Lost. There Is No Other Point Of Departure Than Reality.

We Have A Definite But Unknown Quantity Of Experience At Our Disposal. As Soon As The Hourglass Is Turned, The Sand Will Begin To Run Out And Once It Starts, It Cannot Stop Until It's All Gone.

To Make Oneself Hated Is More Difficult Than To Make Oneself Loved.

Why Do You Try To Understand Art? Do You Try To Understand The Song Of A Bird?
