To Me, Art Is The Glorification Of

The Ability To Simplify Means To Eliminate The Unnecessary So That The Necessary May Speak.

The Art Of Pictorial Creation Is So Complicated - It Is So Astronomical In Its Possibilities Of Relation And Combination That It Would Take An Act Of Super-human Concentration To Explain The Final Realization.

A Work Of Art Is Finished, From The Point Of View Of The Artist, When Feeling And Perception Have Resulted In A Spiritual Synthesis.

The General Misunderstanding Of A Work Of Art Is Often Due To The Fact That The Key To Its Spiritual Content And Technical Means Is Missed. Unless The Observer Is Trained To A Certain Degree In The Artistic Idiom, He Is Apt To Search For Things Which Have Little To Do With The Aesthetic Content Of A Picture. He Is Likely To Look For Pure Representational Values When The Emphasis Is Really Upon Music-like Relationships.

The Plastic Artist May Or May Not Be Concerned With Presenting A Superficial Appearance Of Reality, But He Is Always Concerned With The Presentation - If Not The Representation - Of The Plastic Values Of Reality.
