यदि कलाकार का काम देखना है, तो आलोचक का पहला कर्तव्य यह समझना है कि कलाकार ने क्या देखा था।
If the function of the artist is to see, the first duty of the critic is to understand what the artist saw.

मुझे पहाड़ के उन साफ-सुथरे, क्रिस्टल जैसे दिनों की यादें हैं, जब हम ऊँचाइयों पर रहने वाले भाग्यशाली लोग ऐसे आसमान के बाशिंदे लगते थे जो केवल रोशनी में ही जी रहे थे।
I have memories of the clearest crystal mountain days imaginable, when we fortunates in the height seemed to be sky people living in light alone.

कनाडाई कलाकार का यह काम है कि वह इस तरह से पेंटिंग करे, संगीत बजाए या लिखे जिससे उसके और उसके साथी इंसानों के जीवन का दायरा बढ़े। चित्रकार अपने चारों ओर देखेगा... और हर चीज़ को सुंदर पाकर, धूप, या बर्फ, या पेड़, या दुखद बादलों, या इंसानी चेहरे की मूल बातों को अपनी क्षमता और शख्सियत के अनुसार चित्रित करके उस भावना को दूसरों तक पहुँचाने का प्रयास करेगा।
It is the work of the Canadian artist to paint or play or write in such a way that life will be enlarged for himself and his fellow man. The painter will look around him . . . and finding everything good, will strive to communicate that feeling through a portrayal of the essentials of sunlight, or snow, or tree or tragic cloud, or human face, according to his power and individuality.

बाद में केबिन के बरामदे में बैठकर एक स्केच बनाया, लेकिन बदलावों के साथ तालमेल बिठाना नामुमकिन था। अरे, जरा सी प्रतिभा वाले इंसान के लिए पहाड़ी कला की मुश्किलें!
Made a sketch later on the cabin verandah, but it was impossible to keep up with the changes. Oh the difficulties of mountain art for too little genius.

ऐसा महसूस होता था कि पहाड़ अभी पूरे नहीं हुए हैं। कारीगर अभी भी काम में लगे हैं। ऊपरी मचान से पत्थर लुढ़कते और कूदते हुए आते हैं और अक्सर खाइयों से गर्जना सुनाई देती है जब पहाड़ के देवता अपना मन बदलते हैं।
One felt that the mountains are not completed. The builders are still at work. Stones come rolling and jumping from the upper scaffolding and often from the chasms one hears the thundering as the gods of the mountains change their minds.

बर्फ और परछाइयों का सौंदर्य बहुत आकर्षक था, लेकिन वे पलक झपकते ओझल हो जाने वाले प्रभाव थे और बाकी की मुश्किलें मेरे बस से बाहर थीं।
Snow and reflections were beautiful but transient effects and other difficulties were beyond me.

प्रकृति से चित्रकारी करने का अर्थ अपनी संवेदनाओं को महसूस करना है, न कि सामने रखी चीज़ की नक़ल करना।
To paint from nature is to realize one's sensations, not to copy what is before one.
