Drawing is of the Spirit and color of the Senses.

Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.

Color was not given to us in order that we should imitate Nature. It was given to us so that we can express our emotions.

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

The energy within you is stronger than ever for being held back, compressed, and said No to.

The chief function of color should be to serve expression as well as possible.

The splitting up of color [as Impressionists did] brought the splitting up of form and contour . . . Everything is reduced to a mere sensation of the retina, but one which destroys all tranquility of surface and contour. Objects are differentiated only by the luminosity that is given them.
