There's nothing worse than a brilliant beginning.

We are all born children- the trick is remaining one.

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.

It seems strange to me that someone thought of making marble statues.

Painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy. (about Guernica).

That inspiration comes, does not depend on me. The only thing I can do is make sure it catches me working.

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.
