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

There is no model, there is only color.

A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.

You say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.

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

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.
