Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
The landscape thinks itself in me and I am its consciousness.
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.
When I start thinking, all is lost.
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
