If I Set Out To

Recently I Have Been Working In The Country, Where, Carving In The Open Air, I Find Sculpture More Natural Than In A London Studio, But It Needs Bigger Dimensions. A Large Piece Of Stone Or Wood Placed Almost Anywhere At Random In A Field, Orchard, Or Garden, Immediately Looks Right And Inspiring.

Art Is The Expression Of Imagination, Not The Reproduction Of Reality.

A Work Can Have In It A Pent-up Energy, An Intense Life Of Its Own, Independent Of The Subject It May Represent.

Art Is A Continuous Activity With No Separation Between Past And Present.

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.
