I have never painted a recent picture.

In the same spirit, when the automobile arrived, there were those that declared the horse to be the most perfect form of locomotion.

Speaking of nudes, I have always had a great fondness for this subject, both in my paintings and in my photos, and I must admit, not for purely artistic reasons.

Cut out the eye from a photograph of one who has been loved but is seen no more. Attach the eye to the pendulum of a metronome and regulate the weight to suit the tempo desired. Keep going to the limit of endurance. With a hammer well-aimed, try to destroy the whole at a single blow.

The complicated engines manufactured by men demand, if one really wants to use them, much calm. Ever since our love for machines replaced the love we used to have for our fellow man, catastrophes proceed to increase.

If I'd had the nerve, I'd have become a thief or a gangster, but since I didn't, I became a photographer.

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.
