The Model Is Not To Be Copied,

Do Not Expect Pictures To Say The Expected; Some Of The Best Will Have Surprises For You, Which Will, At First, Shock You.

There Are People Who Buy Pictures Because They Were Difficult To Do, And Are Done. Such Pictures Are Often Only A Record Of Pain And Dull Perseverance. Great Works Of Art Should Look As Though They Were Made In Joy. Real Joy Is A Tremendous Activity, Dull Drudgery Is Nothing To It.

All Education Must Be Self-education.

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

In Every Human Being There Is The Artist, And Whatever His Activity, He Has An Equal Chance With Any To Express The Result Of His Growth And His Contact With Life. I Don't Believe Any Real Artist Cares Whether What He Does Is 'art' Or Not. Who, After All, Knows What Art Is?
