A painting in an interior spreads joy around it by the colors, which calm us.

...for whether we want to or not, we belong to our time and we share in its opinions, its feelings, even its delusions.

It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other; colors must also react on one another. Otherwise, you have cacophony.

One must, of course, have one's entire experience behind one and not have lost the freshness of instinct.

Drawing is of the Spirit and color of the Senses.

I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me.

I have been no more than a medium, as it were.
