“The artists of Asia have spiritually realized form, rather than aesthetically invented or imitated form, and from them I have learned that art and nature are mind's Environment within which we can detect the essence of man's Being and Purpose, and from which we can draw clues to guide our journey from partial consciousness to full consciousness.” MenMindArtFormPurposeArtistConsciousnessEnvironmentJourneyDrawsEssenceGuidesI Have LearnedAsiaClue Author:Morris Graves

“An artist of understanding and experience can show more of his great power and art in small things roughly and rudely done, than many another in a great work. A man may often draw something with his pen on a half sheet of paper in one day . . . . and it shall be fuller of art and better than another's great work whereon he hath spent a whole year's careful labor.” MenYearsMayArtDoneWholeShowsArtistUnderstandingHalfOne DayPaperDrawsLaborCarefulPensSheetsSmall ThingsGreat WorkGreat PowerWhole Year Author:Albrecht Durer
“I am biased towards the belief that every painter must be grounded in strong and faultless drawing skills, and until one has not experimented with all styles of painting and has not comprehended their potentialities one's work is not complete.
