To Be An Artist Is To Believe

I Think In Terms Of The Day's Resolutions, Not The Years'.

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.

Discipline In Art Is A Fundamental Struggle To Understand Oneself, As Much As To Understand What One Is Drawing.

Because A Work Does Not Aim At Reproducing Natural Appearances It Is Not, Therefore, An Escape From Life -- But May Be A Penetration Into Reality...as Expression Of The Significance Of Life, A Stimulation To Greater Effort In Living.

The Soul Cannot Thrive In The Absence Of Art.
