Now there is fame! Of all - hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public - fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.

Art is a leap into the dark.

I hate it when people pilfer my things.

A plagiarist steals from one person. A true artist steals from everybody.

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.

I want to know one thing, what is color?

I don't work from nature, I work like nature.
