I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
I couldn't portray a woman in all her natural loveliness... I haven't the skill. No one has. I must, therefore, create a new sort of beauty.
The painting is finished when the idea has disappeared.
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
It is the unforeseeable that creates the event.
Art is a wound turned into light.
