An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.

A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.

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

I paint as if I were Rothschild.

One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.

You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.

I have sworn to die painting.
