John French Sloan

Drawing is the cornerstone of the graphic plastic arts. Drawing is the coordination of line tone and color symbols into formations that express the artists thought.

Color is like music. The palette is an instrument that can be orchestrated to build form.

Every good picture leaves the painter eager to start again, unsatisfied, inspired by the rich mine in which he is working, hoping for more energy, more vitality, more time - condemned to painting for life.

Since we have to speak well of the dead, let's knock them while they're alive.
