In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.

I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love. I will give all my soul to prove this once more.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.

I am a little Jew of Vitebsk. All that I paint, all that I do, all that I am, is just the little Jew of Vitebsk.

I've always painted pictures in which human love floods my colors.

If a symbol should be discovered in a painting of mine, it was not my intention. It is a result I did not seek. It is something that may be found afterwards, and which can be interpreted according to taste.

What I mean by 'abstract' is something which comes to life spontaneously through a gamut of contrasts, plastic at the same time as psychic, and pervades both the picture and the eye of the spectator with conceptions of new and unfamiliar elements.
