What interests me most is neither still life nor landscape, but the human figure.
All my efforts go into creating an art that can be understood by everyone.
The Barnes Foundation is the only sane place to see art in America.
Nothing can be accomplished without love.
I don't paint women, I paint pictures. . . What I am after above all is expression. If in a portrait I put eyes, a nose, a mouth, there isn't much use; on the contrary it paralyses the imagination of the spectator, and obliges us to see the person in a certain way.
...I am driven on by an idea that I really only grasp as it grows with the picture.
