A Weak Background Is A Deadly Thing.

If You Do Not Act On A Suggestion At First, You Grow Dull To Its Message.

Manet Did Not Do The Expected. He Was A Pioneer. He Followed His Individual Whim. Told The Public What He Wanted It To Know, Not The Time Worn Things The Public Already Knew And Thought It Wanted To Hear Again. The Public Was Very Much Offended.

The Man Who Has Honesty, Integrity, The Love Of Inquiry, The Desire To See Beyond, Is Ready To Appreciate Good Art. He Needs No One To Give Him An 'art Education'; He Is Already Qualified. He Needs But To See Pictures With His Active Mind, Look Into Them For The Things That Belong To Him, And He Will Find Soon Enough In Himself An Art Connoisseur And An Art Lover Of The First Order.

We Are Not Here To Do What Has Already Been Done.

Art Is An Outsider, A Gypsy Over The Face Of The Earth.
