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.

I was for years in the yellow period, you know.

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.

Every perception of color is an illusion, we do not see colors as they really are. In our perception they alter one another.

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

Repeated similar experiments with adjacent colors will show that any ground subtracts its own hue from colors which it carries and therefore influences.

Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature.
