I'd like to study the drawings of kids. That's where the truth is, without a doubt.
We become intoxicated with color, with words that speak of color, and with the sun that makes colors brighter.
The substance of painting is light.
Colors were dynamite for us.
Art must not be intelligent; art is a jouisance, an enjoyment
Fauvism was our ordeal by fire... colours became charges of dynamite. They were expected to charge light... The great merit of this method was to free the picture from all imitative and conventional contact.
