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.

Monet is only an eye, but my God, what an eye!

When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.

I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.

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

I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.

The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
