We might adapt for the artist the joke about there being nothing more dangerous than instruments of war in the hands of generals. In the same way, there is nothing more dangerous than justice in the hands of judges, and a paint brush in the hands of a painter! Just think of the danger to society! But today we haven't the heart to expel the painters and poets because we no longer admit to ourselves that there is any danger in keeping them in our midst.

Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

I don't own any of my own paintings because a Picasso original costs several thousand dollars and that's a luxury I cannot afford.

Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.

We have a lot of reasons but only one real one.

Those trying to explain pictures are as a rule completely mistaken.

In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
