I Would Like To Be Famous But

Great Patience Is Called For On The Hard Path That I Have Entered On.

The Air We See In The Paintings Of The Old Masters Is Never The Air We Breathe.

One Must Have A High Opinion Of A Work Of Art - Not The Work One Is Creating At The Moment, But Of That Which One Desires To Achieve One Day. Without This It Is Not Worthwhile Working.

You Have To Have A High Conception, Not Of What You Are Doing, But Of What You May Do One Day: Without That, There's No Point In Working.

A Painting Is Above All A Product Of The Artist's Imagination, It Must Never Be A Copy. If, At A Later Stage, He Wants To Add Two Or Three Touches From Nature, Of Course It Doesn't Spoil Anything.
