The Aura Given Out By A Person

When I Look At A Body It Gives Me Choice Of What To Put In A Painting, What Will Suit Me And What Won't. There Is A Distinction Between Fact And Truth. Truth Has An Element Of Revelation About It. If Something Is True, It Does More Than Strike One As Merely Being So.

It Is Through Observation And Perception Of Atmosphere That He [the Artist] Can Register The Feeling That He Wishes His Painting To Give Out.

A Painter's Tastes Must Grow Out Of What So Obsesses Him In Life That He Never Has To Ask Himself What It Is Suitable For Him To Do In Art.

I Have A Timetable, But No Routine.

A Painter Must Think Of Everything He Sees As Being There Entirely For His Own Use And Pleasure.
