What I need most of all is color, always, always.

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.

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

Everything changes, even stone.

My only desire is an intimate infusion with nature, and the only fate I wish is to have worked and lived in harmony with her laws.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.

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