As A Teacher I Approach My Students

A Thing In Itself Never Expresses Anything. It Is The Relation Between Things That Gives Meaning To Them And That Formulates A Thought. A Thought Functions Only As A Fragmentary Part In The Formulation Of An Idea.

The Width Of A Line May Present The Idea Of Infinity. An Epigram May Contain A World. In The Same Way, A Small Picture Format May Be Much More Living, Much More Leavening, Stirring, Awakening, Than Square Yards Of Wall Space.

There Is In Reality No Such Thing As Modern Art. Art Is Carried On Up And Down In Immense Cycles Through Centuries And Civilizations.

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.

Just As Counterpoint And Harmony Follow Their Own Laws, And Differ In Rhythm And Movement, Both Formal Tensions And Color Tensions Have A Development Of Their Own In Accordance With The Inherent Laws From Which They Are Separately Derived. Both, However, Aim Toward The Realization Of The Same Image. And Both Deal With The Depth Problem.
