A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.

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.

If you're stuck in a painting, then stop and draw something else. Draw a flower and put your love into that flower. Then your powers will come back again.

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

If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.

I imitate everyone except myself.

Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
