Nature does not create works of art. It is we, and the faculty of interpretation peculiar to the human mind, that see art.

An original is a creation motivated by desire.

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.

I paint when I cannot photograph.

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

I have never painted a recent picture.

I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.
