Painting Will Have To Deal More Fully

I Believe That The Great Painters With Their Intellect As Master Have Attempted To Force This Unwilling Medium Of Paint And Canvas Into A Record Of Their Emotions.

My Aim In Painting Has Always Been The Most Exact Transcription Possible Of My Most Intimate Impression Of Nature.

I Use A Retouching Varnish Which Is Made In France, Libert, And That's All The Varnish I Use.

Great Art Is The Outward Expression Of An Inner Life In The Artist, And This Inner Life Will Result In His Personal Vision Of The World.

One Of The Weaknesses Of Much Abstract Painting Is The Attempt To Substitute The Inventions Of The Intellect For A Pristine Imaginative Conception. The Inner Life Of A Human Being Is A Vast And Varied Realm And Does Not Concern Itself Alone With Stimulating Arrangements Of Color, Form And Design. The Term 'life' As Used In Art Is Something Not To Be Held In Contempt, For It Applies All Of Its Existence, And The Province Of Art Is To React To It And Not To Shun It. Painting Will Have To Deal More Fully And Less Obliquely With Life And Nature's Phenomena Before It Can Again Be Great.
