If it is practiced by a man of taste, the photograph will have the appearance of art (but) the photographer must...intervene as little as possible, so as not to lose the objective charm which it naturally possesses.

I am unable to distinguish between the feeling I have for life and my way of expressing it.

The importance of an artist is to be measured by the quantity of new signs which he has introduced to the language of art.

Drawing is of the Spirit and color of the Senses.

Seek for the boldest color possible, content is irrelevant.

An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.

What I am after, above all, is expression.
