People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.

It is not about painting life, it is about making painting alive.

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

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

The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.

What I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.

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.
