" Art is the articulation of Man's intellectual, spiritual, emotional and aesthetic impulses in relation to life, as experience.  I paint not what I see, but what I feel, not what I think, but rather what I am.  It is not for art to hold a mirror to nature(to freeze a moment out of time) but rather to capture an impulse and sustain it into all eternity.
 The dimension that lies beyond the measurable pictorial, is perhaps the all important one.  There is for me, a "magic" in art, a strange, deeply moving force which makes itself felt but cannot be analyzed.  It is in Beethoven and Brahms, in El Greco and Rembrandt--and in the great cathedrals of Europe.  I do believe, that in the final analysis, it is this dimension that constitutes for us our criterion of judgement."              Samuel M.
