When A Picture Isn't Realized,

Art First Of All Is Optical. That's Where The Material Of Our Art Is: In What Our Eyes Think.

The Strong Experience Of Nature... Is The Necessary Basis For All Conception Of Art On Which Rests The Grandeur And Beauty Of All Future Work.

Time And Reflection... Modify, Little By Little, Our Vision, And At Last Comprehension Comes To Us.

All Pictures Painted Inside In The Studio Will Never Be As Good As The Things Done Outside.

An Art Which Isn't Based On Feeling Isn't An Art At All... Feeling Is The Principle, The Beginning And The End; Craft, Objective, Technique - All These Are In The Middle.
