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

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

Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?

The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.

It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.

I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.

All my life I have worked to be able to earn my living, but I thought that one could do good painting without attracting attention to one's private life. Certainly, an artist wishes to raise himself intellectually as much as possible, but the man must remain obscure. The pleasure must be found in the work.
