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

All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.

Without the fog, London would not be a beautiful city. It is fog that gives it its magnificent amplitude...its regular and massive blocks become grandiose in that mysterious mantle.

The real subject of every painting is light.

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.

No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.

Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.
