Do Remember That One Line Does Nothing; It Is Only In Relation To Another That It Creates A Volume.

Expression For Me Does Not Reside In Passions Glowing In A Human Face Or Manifested By Violent Movement. The Entire Arrangement Of My Picture Is Expressive; The Place Occupied By My Figures, The Empty Space Around Them, The Proportions, Everything Has Its Share.

Instinct Must Be Thwarted Just As One Prunes The Branches Of A Tree So That It Will Grow Better.
