I regard photography and film simply as new technical means which painters must absolutely make use of, just as from time out of mind they have made use of brush, charcoal and color. It is certain, however, that photography and film must become as evocative for the sensibility as pencil, charcoal and brush. (1927)

I have broken the blue boundary of color limits, come out into the white; beside me comrade-pilots swim in this infinity.

A painted surface is a real, living form.

Painting is the aesthetic side of the object but it has never been original, has never been its own goal.

A face painted in a picture gives a pitiful parody of life. . . but a painted surface lives.

In art there is a need for truth, not sincerity.

Color is the essence of painting, which the subject always killed.
