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

I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it.

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

Would not it be best to leave room to mystery?
