What is one to think of those fools who tell one that the artist is always subordinate to nature? Art is a harmony parallel with nature.

Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.

An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all... feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end; craft, objective, technique - all these are in the middle.

Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.

Drawing and color are not separate at all; in so far as you paint, you draw. The more color harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes. When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.
