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

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

I have invented the Thermometer style.

Thus art is not an object, it is an experience.

In Italy the artist is a god. Now if the artist is a god, the scientist is likewise a god.

Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon – it is the very heart of painting. Repeated experiments with adjacent colors will show that any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.

I think art parallels life; it is not a report on nature or on intimate disclosure of inner secrets. Color, in my opinion, behaves like man -- in two distinct ways: first in self-realization and then in the realization of relationships with others.
