I have tried to present my sensations in what is the most congenial and impressive form possible to me.

If the technical innovations of the Impressionists led merely to a more accurate representation of nature, it was perhaps of not much value in enlarging their powers of expression.

I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.

If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.

In its most limited sense, modern, art would seem to concern itself only with the technical innovations of the period.

The trend in some of the contemporary movements in art, but by no means all, seems to deny this ideal and to me appears to lead to a purely decorative conception of painting.

I find linseed oil and white lead the most satisfactory mediums.
