Stuart Davis quotations
Travel, form, space, and art
An artist who has traveled on a steam train, driven an automobile, or flown in an airplane doesn't feel the same way about form and space as one who has not.
Color makes space
Always remember that in a painting color has a position, and a place, and it makes space.
Practical hazards
In a painting, space doesn't involve practical hazards. You can't break your neck in a painting.
