Arthur F. Maynard (1920 - 1991) Patriarch of the RAI
"Painting is a visual thing.  Our study is light, inside and out, under
infinitely changing conditions.  Every achievement of man is the product
of a disciplined mind, will, and imagination.  Understanding without
imagination will not lead us to our goal.  Imagination without
understanding will lead us into a nebulous of never-never land.  The job
of the painter is to tie the two together." - Arthur F. Maynard
