Provided the student realizes this, and that art training deal with the perfecting a means of expression and that the real matter of art lies above this and is beyond the scope of teaching, he cannot have too much of it.

Great things are only done in art when the creative instinct of the artist has a well-organized executive faculty at its disposal.
