If he sees nothing within, then he should stop painting what is in front of him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.
Art is the window to man's soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within.
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
He knows much of what men paint themselves would blister in the light of what they are.
The painter should paint not only what he has in front of him, but also what he sees inside himself.
Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.
A painter must think of everything he sees as being there entirely for his own use and pleasure.
