The Question Of The Value Of Nationality

If The Technical Innovations Of The Impressionists Led Merely To A More Accurate Representation Of Nature, It Was Perhaps Of Not Much Value In Enlarging Their Powers Of Expression.

If I Had The Energy, I Would Have Done It All Over The County.

I Trust Winsor And Newton And I Paint Directly Upon It.

The Question Of The Value Of Nationality In Art Is Perhaps Unsolvable.

One Of The Weaknesses Of Much Abstract Painting Is The Attempt To Substitute The Inventions Of The Intellect For A Pristine Imaginative Conception. The Inner Life Of A Human Being Is A Vast And Varied Realm And Does Not Concern Itself Alone With Stimulating Arrangements Of Color, Form And Design. The Term 'life' As Used In Art Is Something Not To Be Held In Contempt, For It Applies All Of Its Existence, And The Province Of Art Is To React To It And Not To Shun It. Painting Will Have To Deal More Fully And Less Obliquely With Life And Nature's Phenomena Before It Can Again Be Great.
