Don't
be an art critic, but paint, there lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
. . I have always sought
to be understood and, while I was taken to task by critics
or colleagues, I thought they were right, assuming I had
not been clear enough to be understood. This assumption
allowed me to work my whole life without hatred and even
without bitterness toward criticism, regardless of its
source. I counted solely on the clarity of expression
of my work to gain my ends. Hatred, rancor, and the spirit
of vengeance are useless baggage to the artist. His road
is difficult enough for him to cleanse his soul of everything
which could make it more so.

So
I said to myself-I'll paint what I see-what the flower
is to me but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised
into taking the time to look at it-I will make even busy
New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.

If
you want to have clean ideas, change them as often as
you change your shirts.

Better

I
don't use professional models because they have been stared
at so much that they have grown another skin. When they
take their clothes off, they are not naked; their skin
has become another form of clothing.

other people see nothing.
