I once got a little camera to use for details of architecture and so forth but the photo was always so different from the perspective the eye gives, I gave it up.

My aim in painting has always been the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impression of nature.

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.

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

When I don't feel in the mood for painting I go to the movies for a week or more. I go on a regular movie binge!

The only real influence I've ever had was myself.

I think that zinc white has a property of scaling and cracking.
