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!

No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.

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

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

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

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.
