Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see.
I cannot now change my style, which I acquired, as you can imagine, by dint of labour.
If it is reason that forms man then it is the emotions that guide her.
We are the two great painters of this era; you are in the Egyptian style, I in themodern style. (to Pablo Picasso)
The universe was born restless and has never since been still.
God created man in his own image. And man, being a gentleman, returned the favor.
