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

For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.

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

I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.

Long live the sun which gives us such beautiful color.

My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.

Sometimes I imagine colors as if they were living ideas, being of pure reason with which to communicate. Nature is not on the surface, it is deep down.
