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

Drawing and color are not separate at all; in so far as you paint, you draw. The more color harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes. When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also

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

I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.

The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.

The landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture...we merge in an iridescent chaos.

Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
