Time And Reflection Change The Sight Little

Literature Expresses Itself By Abstractions, Whereas Painting, By Means Of Drawing And Colour, Gives Concrete Shape To Sensations And Perceptions.

See Nature In Terms Of The Cone, The Cylinder, And The Sphere.

I Have Not Tried To Reproduce Nature; I Have Represented It.

The Artist Must Scorn All Judgment That Is Not Based On An Intelligent Observation Of Character. He Must Beware Of The Literary Spirit Which So Often Causes A Painting To Deviate From Its True Path - The Concrete Study Of Nature - To Lose Itself All Too Long In Intangible Speculations.

When The Color Achieves Richness, The Form Attains Its Fullness Also.
