“Every great artist has the sense of provocation.”
“A little artist has all the tragic unhappiness and the sorrows of a great artist and he is not a great artist.”
“Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.”
“A great spirit has been amongst us, and a great artist is gone.”
“A truly great artist has many talents.”
“Any artist who respects himself ought to be, and in every sense of the term, an emigre.”
