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.
