A Work Of Art Is A World

Nature's Purpose In Relation To The Visual Arts Is To Provide Stimulus Not Imitation. From Its Ceaseless Urge To Create Springs All Life - All Movement And Rhythm - Time And Light, Color And Mood - In Short, All Reality In Form And Thought.

The Whole World, As We Experience It Visually, Comes To Us Through The Mystic Realm Of Color. Our Entire Being Is Nourished By It. This Mystic Quality Of Color Should Likewise Find Expression In A Work Of Art.

It Takes Intelligence And Training, Self-discipline And Fine-sensibility, To Gain Renewed Life Through Leisure Occupation. America Now Suffers Spiritual Poverty, And Art Must Become More Fully American Life Before Her Leisure Can Become Culture.

Every Art Expression Is Rooted Fundamentally In The Personality And Temperament Of The Artist.

The Difference Between The Arts Arises Because Of The Difference In The Nature Of The Mediums Of Expression And The Emphasis Induced By The Nature Of Each Medium. Each Means Of Expression Has Its Own Order Of Being, Its Own Units.
