«The workshop is the closest to the Renaissance of anything, I am sure, that has ever happened before in the United States […] Every person here is dedicated to the Project. Everyone feels and knows that we must do our utmost. We know that there are a bunch of commercial mural panters preparing murals for the different buildings of the Fair — Hildreth Miere and others. They are making at least ten times more money than we are. But they can have it. Theirs will be the usual commercial crap. They are not moved as we are by content — by our concern for people […] We will show what mural painting can be!!»
