Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.

When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.

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.

There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.

I do not believe in things. I believe in relationships.

Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling; it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.

Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
