The More Simply You See, The More

I Am Interested In The Size Of Your Intention. It Is Better To Overstate The Important Than To Understate It.

The Big Painter Is One Who Has Something To Say. He Thus Does Not Paint Men, Landscape Or Furniture, But An Idea.

Know What The Old Masters Did. Know How They Composed Their Pictures, But Do Not Fall Into The Conventions They Established. These Conventions Were Right For Them, And They Are Wonderful. They Made Their Language. You Make Yours. All The Past Can Help You.

Do Not Let The Fact That Things Are Not Made For You, That Conditions Are Not As They Should Be Stop You. Go On Anyway. Everything Depends On Those Who Go On Anyway.

If A Certain Activity, Such As Painting, Becomes The Habitual Mode Of Expression, It May Follow That Taking Up The Painting Materials And Beginning Work With Them Will Act Suggestively And So Presently Evoke A Flight Into The Higher State.
