It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop

I invent nothing, I rediscover.

Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.

True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.

Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.

If the artist only reproduces superficial features as photography does, if he copies the lineaments of a face exactly, without reference to character, he deserves no admiration. The resemblance which he ought to obtain is that of the soul.

It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop
