To Be An Artist Is To Believe

Because A Work Does Not Aim At Reproducing Natural Appearances It Is Not, Therefore, An Escape From Life -- But May Be A Penetration Into Reality...as Expression Of The Significance Of Life, A Stimulation To Greater Effort In Living.

I'm Very Grateful That I Was Too Poor To Get To Art School Until I Was 21. . . I Was Old Enough When I Got There To Know How To Get Something Out Of It.

I Sometimes Draw Just For Its Own Enjoyment.

A Work Can Have In It A Pent-up Energy, An Intense Life Of Its Own, Independent Of The Subject It May Represent.

I Think In Terms Of The Day's Resolutions, Not The Years'.
