+
Great art is the outward expression of an inner
life in the artist.
+ One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting
is the attempt to substitute the inventions of
the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception.
The inner life of a human being is a vast and
varied realm and does not concern itself alone
with stimulating arrangements of color, form and
design. The term 'life' as used in art is something
not to be held in contempt, for it applies all
of its existence, and the province of art is to
react to it and not to shun it. Painting will
have to deal more fully and less obliquely with
life and nature's phenomena before it can again
be great.
+ No amount of skillful invention can replace
the essential element of imagination.
+ If I could say it in words there would be no
reason to paint.
