Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.

It was my family that wanted me to be a teacher. That was safe, you see. To be a painter was terrible.

A painter paints because he has no time not to paint.

Independent of harmony rules, any color 'goes' or 'works' with any other color, presupposing that their quantities are appropriate.

I want color and form to have contradictorily functions.

I have invented the Thermometer style.

It's the only dish I serve my craziness for color in.
