Sometimes I imagine colors as if they were living ideas, being of pure reason with which to communicate. Nature is not on the surface, it is deep down.

I have nothing to hide in art. The initial force alone can bring anyone to the end he must attain.

I have sworn to die painting.

I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.

There is no model, there is only color.

Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.

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