To Create A Work Of Art Is

With Cold Eyes And Indifferent Mind The Spectators Regard The Work. Connoissers Admire The "skill" (as One Admires A Tightrope Walker), Enjoy The "quality Of Painting" (as One Enjoys A Pasty). But Hungry Souls Go Hungry Away. The Vulgar Herd Stroll Through The Rooms And Pronounce The Pictures "nice" Or "splendid." Those Who Could Speak Have Said Nothing, Those Who Could Hear Have Heard Nothing.

The Artist Must Train Not Only His Eye But Also His Soul, So That It Can Weigh Colours In Its Own Scale And Thus Become A Determinant In Artistic Creation.

The Spirit, Like The Body, Can Be Strengthened And Developed By Frequent Exercise. Just As The Body, If Neglected, Grows Weaker And Finally Impotent, So The Spirit Perishes If Untended.

The More Abstract Is Form, The More Clear And Direct Its Appeal.

Objects Damage Pictures.
