Art is an escape from reality.

When an artist or student draws a nude figure with painstaking care, the result is drawing, and not emotion.

With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.

I am unable to make any distinction between the feeling I get from life and the way I translate that feeling into painting.

What interests me most is neither still life nor landscape, but the human figure.

A young woman has young claws, well sharpened. If she has character, that is. And if she hasn't so much the worse for you.

Drawing is putting a line around an idea.
