The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.

Drawing and color are by no means two different things. As you paint, you draw... When color is at its richest, form is at its fullest.

I paint as if I were Rothschild.

There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform.
