It is not about painting life, it is about making painting alive.
The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.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.
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
