All critics should be assassinated.

I am an economic person; I judge the amount of work involved with the amount of worth attained.

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.

A creator needs only one enthusiast to justify him.

To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.

There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love.
