George Bellows quotes:

The artist is the person who makes life more interesting or beautiful, more understandable or mysterious, or probably, in the best sense, more wonderful.

I found myself in my first art school under the direction of Robert Henri... My life began at this point.

Try everything that can be done. Be deliberate. Be spontaneous. Be thoughtful and painstaking. Be abandoned and impulsive. Learn your own possibilities.

Art strives for structure, and aspires for magnificence.

The ideal artist is he who knows everything, feels everything, experiences everything, and retains his experience in a spirit of wonder and feeds upon it with creative lust.

Try everything that can be done.... Learn your own possibilities.
