I do not evolve, I am.

I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators; the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.

Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?

Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!

I've reached the moment where the movement of my thought interests me more than the thought itself.

The academic teaching on beauty is false. We have been misled, but so completely misled that we can no longer find so much as a shadow of a truth again. The beauties of the Parthenon, the Venuses, the Nymphs, the Narcisusses, are so may lies. Art is not the application of a canon of beauty, but what the instinct and the brain can conceive independently of that canon.

When I die, it will be a shipwreck, and as when a huge ship sinks, many people all around will be sucked down with it.
