Our Entire Being Is Nourished

The Creative Process Lies Not In Imitating, But In Paralleling Nature - Translating The Impulse Received From Nature Into The Medium Of Expression, Thus Vitalizing This Medium. The Picture Should Be Alive, The Statue Should Be Alive, And Every Work Of Art Should Be Alive.

Space Expands Or Contracts In The Tensions And Functions Through Which It Exists. Space Is Not A Static, Inert Thing. Space Is Alive; Space Is Dynamic; Space Is Imbued With Movement Expressed By Forces And Counterforces; Space Vibrates And Resounds With Color, Light And Form In The Rhythm Of Life.

Painters Must Speak Through Paint, Not Through Words.

I Can't Understand How Anyone Is Able To Paint Without Optimism. Despite The General Pessimistic Attitude In The World Today, I Am Nothing But An Optimist.

The Width Of A Line May Present The Idea Of Infinity. An Epigram May Contain A World. In The Same Way, A Small Picture Format May Be Much More Living, Much More Leavening, Stirring, Awakening, Than Square Yards Of Wall Space.
