When I start thinking, all is lost.

There are two things in the painter, the eye and the mind; each of them should aid the other.

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.

If isolation tempers the strong, it is the stumbling-block of the uncertain.

I have to keep working, not to arrive at finish, which arouses the admiration of fools... I must seek completion only for the pleasure of being truer and more knowing.

If I think, everything is lost.

I paint as if I were Rothschild.
