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

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.

I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.

If I think, everything is lost.

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.

Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.

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