Art Is The Expression Of The Artist´s

Art Is Magic... But How Is It Magic? In Its Metaphysical Development? Or Does Some Final Transformation Culminate In A Magic Reality? In Truth, The Latter Is Impossible Without The Former. If Creation Is Not Magic, The Outcome Cannot Be Magic.

Nature's Purpose In Relation To The Visual Arts Is To Provide Stimulus Not Imitation. From Its Ceaseless Urge To Create Springs All Life - All Movement And Rhythm - Time And Light, Color And Mood - In Short, All Reality In Form And Thought.

Art Is The Expression Of The Artist´s Overflowing Soul.

Art Cannot Result From Sophisticated, Frivolous, Or Superficial Effects.

Depth, In A Pictorial, Plastic Sense, Is Not Created By The Arrangement Of Objects One After Another Toward A Vanishing Point, In The Sense Of The Renaissance Perspective, But On The Contrary (and In Absolute Denial Of This Doctrine) By The Creation Of Forces In The Sense Of Push And Pull . Nor Is Depth Created By Tonal Gradation (another Doctrine Of The Academician Which, At Its Culmination, Degraded The Use Of Color To A Mere Function Of Expressing Dark And Light).
