There Is No Art Without Contemplation.

Each Man Must Take The Material That He Finds At Hand, See That In It There Are The Big Truths Of Life, The Fundamentally Big Forces, And Then Express In His Art Whatever Is The Cause Of His Pleasure.

Things Should All Be Moving Toward The Expression Of A Great Idea.

Do Whatever You Do Intensely. The Artist Is The Man Who Leaves The Crowd And Goes Pioneering. With Him There Is An Idea Which Is His Life.

Beauty Is No Material Thing. Beauty Cannot Be Copied. Beauty Is The Sensation Of Pleasure On The Mind Of The Seer. No Thing Is Beautiful. But All Things Await The Sensitive And Imaginative Mind That May Be Aroused To Pleasurable Emotion At Sight Of Them. This Is Beauty.

Paint The Flying Spirit Of The Bird Rather Than Its Feathers.
