My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.

Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist.

Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors.

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

If I were called upon to define briefly the word Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the senses preceive in nature, seen through the veil of the soul.

The landscape thinks itself in me and I am its consciousness.

If I think, I am lost.
