The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.

I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.

A painting without something disturbing in it – what's that?.

To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.

I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.

The starting point of a picture for any painter is a matter of colors and form...I believe that the poetry of art - if that is what one may call it - is a matter of animating these forms and colors.

I like the rule that corrects emotion.
