The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.

Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist.

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

There is no model, there is only color.

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.

It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.

The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself.
