It is not what an artist does that counts...but what he is.
I have had no true friends, only lovers.
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.
We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. And even later, for that reason or for another, I sometimes marked my canvases on the back. If you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.
