Drawing and color are by no means two different things. As you paint, you draw... When color is at its richest, form is at its fullest.

I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.

It is not about painting life, it is about making painting alive.

Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.

Chatter about art is almost always useless.

I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.

One had to immerse oneself in one's surroundings and intensely study nature or one's subject to understand how to recreate it.
