The question of the value of nationality in art is perhaps unsolvable.

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

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

So many people say painting is fun. I don't find it fun at all. It's hard work for me.

I use a retouching varnish which is made in France, Libert, and that's all the varnish I use.

I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.

More of me comes out when I improvise.
