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 have to keep working, not to arrive at finish, which arouses the admiration of fools... I must seek completion only for the pleasure of being truer and more knowing.

Design and color are not distinct and separate. As one paints, one draws. The more the colors harmonize, the more the design takes form. When color is at it's richest, form is at its fullest.

Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?

It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.

What is one to think of those fools who tell one that the artist is always subordinate to nature? Art is a harmony parallel with nature.

Long live the sun which gives us such beautiful color.
