I would kiss you, had I the courage.

It is not enough to know your craft - you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more.

Concision in art is a necessity and an elegance. The verbose painter bores: who will get rid of all these trimmings?

Above all, keep your colors fresh!

One must be of one's time and paint what one sees.

You must always remain master of the situation and do what you please. No school tasks, ah, no! no tasks!

I would kiss you, had I the courage.
