There Is A Right Physical Size For

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'm Very Grateful That I Was Too Poor To Get To Art School Until I Was 21. . . I Was Old Enough When I Got There To Know How To Get Something Out Of It.

Now I Really Make The Little Idea From Clay, And I Hold It In My Hand. I Can Turn It, Look At It From Underneath, See It From One View, Hold It Against The Sky, Imagine It Any Size I Like, And Really Be In Control Almost Like God Creating Something.

It Is A Mistake For A Sculptor Or A Painter To Speak Or Write Very Often About His Job. It Releases Tension Needed For His Work.

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.
