To call everything that appears illogical, fantasy, fairy tale, or chimera would be practically to admit not understanding nature.

Great art picks up where nature ends.

Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music; everything is vibration.

When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.

Everything in art must spring from the movement of our whole life-stream, of our whole being - including the unconscious.

If I create with my heart almost all my intentions remain. If it is with the head - almost nothing. An artist must not fear to be himself, to express only himself. If he is absolutely and entirely sincere, what he says and does will be acceptable to others.

You cannot explain me with "isms." They are very bad for an artist. What one must believe in is color.
