Two sittings a day of my models and I'm totally exhausted.
I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself.
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
