A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.

Instinct must be thwarted just as one prunes the branches of a tree so that it will grow better.

Exactitude is not truth.

All art worthy of the name is religious.

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

My pictures are made up of four or five colors that collide with one another.

Don't wait for inspiration. It comes while one is working.
