"Too often in the past we have thought of the artist as an idler and
dilettante and of the lover of arts as somehow sissy or effete. We have
done both an injustice. The life of the artist is, in relation to his
work, stern and lonely. He has labored hard, often among deprivation, to
perfect his skill. He has turned aside from quick success in order to
strip his vision of everything secondary or cheapening. His working life
is marked by intense application and intense discipline. As for the
lover of arts, it is he who, by subjecting himself to the sometimes
disturbing experience of art, sustains the artist — and seeks only the
reward that his life will, in consequence, be the more fully lived."
