A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
You say a new era in art is preparing you sensed it coming continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.
The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself.
Painting from nature is not copying the object it is realizing one's sensations.
Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere the cone and the cylinder. One must learn to paint these simple figures and then one can do all that he may wish.
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
