Quotes

  • "It is harder to see than it is to express. The whole value of art rests in the artist's ability to see well into what is before him."
  • "Art cannot be separated from life. It is the expression of the greatest need of which life is capable, and we value art not because of the skilled product, but because of its revelation of a life's experience."
  • "Paint what you feel. Paint what you see. Paint what is real to you."
  • "Different men are moved or left cold by lines according to the difference in their natures. What moves you is beautiful to you."
  • "There is only one reason for art in America, and that is that the people of America learn the means of expressing themselves in their own time, and their own land."
