Being An Artist Is Celebrating

People Think That They See, But They Don't.

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.

Nothing Raises The Price Of A Blessing Like Its Removal; Whereas, It Was Its Continuance Which Should Have Taught Us Its Value. [it Is Wise To Be Grateful Of What We Have While We Have It.]

All The Arts Are Based On The Senses. What They Do For The Person Who Practices Them, And Also The Persons Interested In Them, Is Make That Particular Sense More Active And More Acute.

Art Is Not To Do With The Practical Side Of Making A Living. It's To Live A Fuller Human Life.
