Color is like cooking. The cook puts in more or less salt, that’s the difference! Picture Quote #1

When we were in the seminary we got a stipend direct from the government and for that stipend we had an obligation to stick to our teaching job for five years Picture Quote #1

It was my family that wanted me to be a teacher. That was safe, you see. To be a painter was terrible Picture Quote #1

And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything Picture Quote #1

As basic rules of a language must be practiced continually, and therefore are never fixed, so exercises toward distinct color effects never are done or over. New and different cases will be discovered time and again Picture Quote #1

It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it’s energy. It’s the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see Picture Quote #1

My father’s parents were carpenters. They were also builders partly. They were painters. And several of them were very, active in the theatre and all such nonsense, you know Picture Quote #1

Traditionally art is to create and not to revive. To revive: leave that to the historians, who are looking backward Picture Quote #1

The aim of art is a constant, and a continuous job to reveal visually the attitude of our mentality. And the less we disturb the influence of our mentality the more I believe we come close to the truth Picture Quote #1

We never really perceive what color really is, as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art Picture Quote #1

Every perception of color is an illusion, we do not see colors as they really are. In our perception they alter one another Picture Quote #1

To design is to plan and to organize, to order, to relate and to control. In short it embraces all means of opposing disorder and accident. Therefore it signifies a human need and qualifies man’s thinking and doing Picture Quote #1

Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely Picture Quote #1

Learn to see and to feel life; that is, cultivate imagination, because there are still marvels in the world, because life is a mystery and always will be. But be aware of it Picture Quote #1

I do not like to be a prophet. I like better to paint than to predict what the next painters will do. Though I have a feeling that consideration of order is very much in the air Picture Quote #1

In my basic courses I have always tried to develop discovery and invention which, in my opinion, are the criteria of creativeness Picture Quote #1

The role of art for me is the visualization of attitude, of the human attitude towards life, towards the world Picture Quote #1
