조지 이네스의 봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울

Spring Blossoms

Inness  collapsed while watching the sunset during a visit to Scotland in 1894

and died soon afterward.

His last words:

 “My God! Oh, how beautiful!”

"The true use of art is, first, to cultivate the artist's own spiritual nature,

and, second, to enter as a factor in general civilization.

And the increase of these effects depends on the purity of the artist's motive in
the pursuit of art.

Every artist who, without reference to external circumstances, aims truly to represent the ideas

and emotions which come to him when he is in the presence of nature is in process of his own
spiritual development and is a benefactor of his race.
Of course no man's motive can be absolutely pure and single. His environment affects him.

But the true artistic impulse is divine" ~ George Inness
