One Mustn't Let Technique Be

Discipline In Art Is A Fundamental Struggle To Understand Oneself, As Much As To Understand What One Is Drawing.

A Sculptor Is A Person Obsessed With The Form And The Shape Of Things, And It's Not Just Ihe Shape Of Any One Thing, But The Shape Of Any Thing And Everything.

A Piece Of Sculpture Can Have A Hole Through It And Not Be Weakened If The Hole Is Of A Studied Size, Shape, And Direction.

The Whole Of Nature Is An Endless Demonstration Of Shape And Form. It Always Surprises Me When Artists Try To Escape From This.

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.
