To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.

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

Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.

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The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.

It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too

With an apple I will astonish Paris.
