My paintings do no more than give an idea of my wanderings in search of a guiding principle in art - Roger Fry

There is no difference between landscapes and other subjects: in general in painting I try to express the emotions that the contemplation of the form produces in me.

As I understand it, art is one of the chief organs of what, for want of a better word, I must call the spiritual life.

Art is an expression and stimulus to the imaginative life rather than a copy of actual life. Art appreciates emotion in and for itself. The artist, is the most constantly observant of his surroundings and the least affected by their intrinsic aesthetic value. As he contemplates a particular field of vision the aesthetically chaotic and accidental conjunction of forms and colours begin to crystallize into a harmony.
