One Mustn't Let Technique Be The Consciously

It Is A Mistake For A Sculptor Or A Painter To Speak Or Write Very Often About His Job. It Releases Tension Needed For His Work.

The Artist Works With A Concentration Of His Whole Personality, And The Conscious Part Of It Resolves Conflicts, Organized Memories, And Prevents Him From Trying To Walk In Two Directions At The Same Time.

Because A Work Does Not Aim At Reproducing Natural Appearances It Is Not, Therefore, An Escape From Life -- But May Be A Penetration Into Reality...as Expression Of The Significance Of Life, A Stimulation To Greater Effort In Living.

In My Opinion, Everything, Every Shape, Every Bit Of Natural Form, Animals, People, Pebbles, Shells, Anything You Like Are All Things That Can Help You To Make A Sculpture.

The Construction Of The Human Figure, Its Tremendous Variety Of Balance, Of Size, Of Rhythm, All Those Things Make The Human Form Much More Difficult To Get Right In A Drawing Than Anything Else.
