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

There is no model, there is only color.

One had to immerse oneself in one's surroundings and intensely study nature or one's subject to understand how to recreate it.

Two sittings a day of my models and I'm totally exhausted.

The landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture...we merge in an iridescent chaos.

Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?

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