Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
I'm glad I haven't found my style yet. I'd be bored to death.
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
