Quote

A critic should be taught to criticise a work of art without making any reference to the personality of the author.

I have never been much of a painter.

I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.

There does not exist a painter who knows himself or knows what he is doing.

Every good painter paints what he is.

A critic is not a creative artist, is a commenter, a midwife of creativity, but not creative himself.

I wrote 'The Painted Word,' about modern art, and was denounced as reactionary. In fact, it is just a history, although a rather loaded one.

I have generally found that persons who had studied painting least were the best judges of it.

I never wanted to be called an artist. I wanted to be called a photographer.
