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.

If all life moves inevitably towards its end, then we must, during our own, colour it with our colours of love and hope.

Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.

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

Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul. All souls are sacred, the soul of all the bipeds in every quarter of the globe.

Great art picks up where nature ends.

Mine alone is the country of my soul.
