Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret.

The subject should be observed more for shape and color than for drawing... precise drawing is dry and hampers the impression of the whole, it destroys all sensations.

Watercolour is not especially difficult, but I must warn you to steer clear of those pretty English watercolourists, so skilful and alas so weak, and so often too truthful.

I remember that, although I was full of fervour, I didn't have the slightest inkling, even at forty, of the deeper side to the movement we were pursuing by instinct. It was in the air!

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.

It is absurd to look for perfection.

Don't be afraid of putting on color, refine the work little by little.
