Style is often something which locks the painter into the same vision, the same technique, the same formula during years and years, sometimes during one's whole lifetime.

If there is something to steal, I steal it.

When you make a thing, a thing that is new, it is so complicated making it that it is bound to be ugly. But those that make it after you, they don't have to worry about making it. And they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when others make it after you

It is not what an artist does that counts...but what he is.

The only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.

Painting is a jeu d'esprit.

Art is a leap into the dark.
