He said : " Spiritual vision is a message imparted to a man of genius who, if he has technical ability, may pass it on to the observer. " .... " Art is the principle flowing out of God through certain men and women by which they perceive and understand the beautiful. The office of the Artist is to express the beautiful. "

" And so in his mountain home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where he spends his summers in an almost primeval environment, he is watching the majesty of the storm, the splendor of the sunset, the gray swirl of fog clouds, and the flowing change of season upon season.
