The Freer The Soul, The More Abstract

You Cannot Explain Me With "isms." They Are Very Bad For An Artist. What One Must Believe In Is Color.

Work Isn't To Make Money; You Work To Justify Life.

The Fingers Must Be Educated, The Thumb Is Born Knowing.

When I Am Finishing A Picture, I Hold Some God-made Object Up To It - A Rock, A Flower, The Branch Of A Tree Or My Hand - As A Final Test. If The Painting Stands Up Beside A Thing Man Cannot Make, The Painting Is Authentic. If There's A Clash Between The Two, It's Bad Art.

To Call Everything That Appears Illogical, Fantasy, Fairy Tale, Or Chimera Would Be Practically To Admit Not Understanding Nature.
