I Have Always Liked Drawing,

The Observation Of Nature Is Part Of An Artist's Life, It Enlarges His Form [and] Knowledge, Keeps Him Fresh And From Working Only By Formula, And Feeds Inspiration.

I Find In All The Artists That I Admire Most A Disturbing Element, A Distortion, Giving Evidence Of A Struggle . . . . In Great Art, This Conflict Is Hidden, It Is Unresolved. All That Is Bursting With Energy Is Disturbing - Not Perfect.

The First Hole Made Through A Piece Of Stone Is A Revelation.

Our Knowledge Of Shape And Form Remains, In General, A Mixture Of Visual And Of Tactile Experiences... A Child Learns About Roundness From Handling A Ball Far More Than From Looking At It.

I Sometimes Begin A Drawing With No Preconceived Problem To Solve, With Only The Desire To Use Pencil On Paper... But As My Eye Takes In What Is So Produced, A Point Arrives Where Some Idea Crystallizes, And Then A Control And Ordering Begins To Take Place.
