Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.

For being a bad student I was banished to the 'calaboose' - a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit on. I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly I could have stayed there forever drawing without stopping

I like all paintings. I always look at the paintings, good or bad, in barbershops, furniture stores, provincial hotels. I'm like a drinker who needs wine. As long as it is wine, it doesn't matter which wine.

This idea of art for art's sake is a hoax.

The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.

It is a well-known fact that we see the faults in other's works more readily than we do in our own.

If you don't know what color to take, take black.
