Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.

To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing... When I find myself facing a blank page, that’s always going through my head. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.

It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.

All human beings are born with the same creative potential. Most people squander theirs away on a million superfluous things. I expend mine on one thing and one thing only: my art.

Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.

To draw you must close your eyes and sing.

The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous.
