In Certain Books—some Way In

Your Painting Is The Marking Of Your Progression Into Nature, A Sensation Of Something You See Way Beyond The Two Pretty Colors Over There. Don't Stop To Paint The Material, But Push On To Give The Spirit.

I Am Interested In The Size Of Your Intention. It Is Better To Overstate The Important Than To Understate It.

The Man Who Has Honesty, Integrity, The Love Of Inquiry, The Desire To See Beyond, Is Ready To Appreciate Good Art. He Needs No One To Give Him An 'art Education'; He Is Already Qualified. He Needs But To See Pictures With His Active Mind, Look Into Them For The Things That Belong To Him, And He Will Find Soon Enough In Himself An Art Connoisseur And An Art Lover Of The First Order.

Each Man Must Take The Material That He Finds At Hand, See That In It There Are The Big Truths Of Life, The Fundamentally Big Forces, And Then Express In His Art Whatever Is The Cause Of His Pleasure.

The Big Painter Is One Who Has Something To Say. He Thus Does Not Paint Men, Landscape Or Furniture, But An Idea.
