There are neither good nor bad subjects. From the point of view of pure Art, you could almost establish it as an axiom that the subject is irrelevant, style itself being an absolute manner of seeing things.
The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful one must sense him everywhere but never see him.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
