Mystery Is Like A Kind

What Is Drawing? Not Once In Describing The Shape Of The Mass Did I Shift My Eyes From The Model. Why? Because I Wanted To Be Sure That Nothing Evaded My Grasp Of It... My Objective Is To Test To What Extent My Hands Already Feel What My Eyes See.

To Any Artist, Worthy Of The Name, All In Nature Is Beautiful, Because His Eyes, Fearlessly Accepting All Exterior Truth, Read There, As In An Open Book, All The Inner Truth.

Art Is The Pleasure Of A Spirit That Enters Nature And Discovers That It Too Has A Soul.

A Mediocre Man Copying Nature Will Never Produce A Work Of Art, Because He Really Looks Without Seeing, And Though He May Have Noted Each Detail Minutely, The Result Will Be Flat And Without Character... The Artist On The Contrary, Sees; That Is To Say, His Eye, Grafted On His Heart, Reads Deeply Into The Bosom Of Nature.
