If I Was An Artist, And I

A Good Teacher Is Like A Good Artist. They Go Right To The Most Difficult Part Of Whatever's Going On.

I'm Surprised When The Work Appears Beautiful, And Very Pleased. And I Think Work Can Be Very Good And Very Successful Without Being Able To Call It Beautiful, Although I'm Not Clear About That. The Work Is Good When It Has A Certain Completeness; And When It's Got A Certain Completeness, Then It's Beautiful.

What Is It That An Artist Does When He Is Left Alone In His Studio? My Conclusion Was That If I Was An Artist And I Was In The Studio, Then Everything I Was Doing In The Studio Should Be Art . . . . From That Point On, Art Became More Of An Activity And Less Of A Product.

And I Don't Have Any Specific Steps To Take Because I Don't Start The Same Way Every Time. But There Is A Knowing When It's Enough And You Can Leave It Alone.

If You Really Want To Do It, You Do It. There Are No Excuses.
