People Think That They See, But They

Sculpture Is An Art Of The Open Air... I Would Rather Have A Piece Of My Sculpture Put In A Landscape, Almost Any Landscape, Than In, Or On, The Most Beautiful Building I Know.

I Find In All The Artists That I Admire Most A Disturbing Element, A Distortion, Giving Evidence Of A Struggle . . . . In Great Art, This Conflict Is Hidden, It Is Unresolved. All That Is Bursting With Energy Is Disturbing - Not Perfect.

The Important Thing Is Somehow To Begin.

All Art Should Have A Certain Mystery And Should Make Demands On The Spectator. Giving A Sculpture Or A Drawing Too Explicit A Title Takes Away Part Of That Mystery So That The Spectator Moves On To The Next Object, Making No Effort To Ponder The Meaning Of What He Has Just Seen. Everyone Thinks That He Or She Looks But They Don't Really, You Know.

The Creative Habit Is Like A Drug. The Particular Obsession Changes, But The Excitement, The Thrill Of Your Creation Lasts.
