My curves are not crazy.

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

I am unable to distinguish between the feeling I have for life and my way of expressing it.

A certain blue enters your soul. A certain red has an effect on your blood-pressure.

It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other; colors must also react on one another. Otherwise, you have cacophony.

I cannot copy nature in a servile way; I am forced to interpret nature and submit it to the spirit of the picture. From the relationship I have found in all the tones there must result a living harmony of colors, a harmony analogous to that of a musical composition.

The importance of an artist is to be measured by the quantity of new signs which he has introduced to the language of art.
