I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.

The effect of sincerity is to give one's work the character of a protest. The painter, being concerned only with conveying his impression, simply seeks to be himself and no one else.

To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.

Apart from painting and gardening, I'm not good at anything.

I must have flowers, always, and always.

I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
