I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.

If you don't do it my way, I suggest you commit suicide.

What has been said does not simply belong to us.

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.

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

Learn to see and to feel life; that is, cultivate imagination, because there are still marvels in the world, because life is a mystery and always will be. But be aware of it.

I want color and form to have contradictorily functions.
