The purpose of art is to re-present nature, not represent it.

I've handled colour as a man should behave. You may conclude that I consider ethics and aesthetics as one.

Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.

My father's parents were carpenters. They were also builders partly. They were painters. And several of them were very, active in the theatre and all such nonsense, you know.

If one says “Red” (the name of a color) and there are 50 people listening, it can be expected that there will be 50 reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.

In order to use color effectively it is necessary to recognize that color deceives continually.

As basic rules of a language must be practiced continually, and therefore are never fixed, so exercises toward distinct color effects never are done or over. New and different cases will be discovered time and again.
