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

The use of expressive colors is felt to be one of the basic elements of the modern mentality, an historical necessity, beyond choice.

Drawing is putting a line around an idea.

Expression for me does not reside in passions glowing in a human face or manifested by violent movement. The entire arrangement of my picture is expressive; the place occupied by my figures, the empty space around them, the proportions, everything has its share.

Do remember that one line does nothing; it is only in relation to another that it creates a volume.

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

I was driven on by.. A force which I see today as something alien to my normal life... so I have been no more than a medium as it were.
