From Robert Henris The Art Spirit, P. 32: It is really not important whether ones vision is as great as that of another. It is a personal question as to whether one shall live in and deal with his (or her) moments of greatest happiness. The development of the power of seeing and the power to retain in the memory that which is essential and to make record and thus test out how true the seeing and the memory have been is the way to happiness. and P. 39: We are instinctively blind to what is not relative. We are not cameras. We select. We do this always when we are not painting...In ordinary life we see backgrounds right - in fact, as they are. When we start painting we are apt to destroy the background by looking at the multitude of things behind the model.
