Inspiration is an awakening, a quickening of all man's faculties, and it is manifested in all high artistic achievements.

Inspiration is an awakening, a quickening of all man's faculties, and it is manifested in all high artistic achievements.

Art is a kind of illness.

. . . colors like a flourish of trumpets or pianissimo on the violin, great, calm, oscillating, splintered surgances . . . . Is this not form?

Cold calculation, random spots of color, mathematically exact construction (clearly shown or concealed), drawing that is now silent and now strident . . . . Is this not form?

Preserve my artistic creativity and ennoble my artistic fame.
