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

My nervous system is enfeebled, only work in oils can sustain me.

With a painter's temperament, all that's needed are the means of expression sufficient to be intelligible to the wide public.

When I start thinking, all is lost.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

Everything is about to disappear. You've got to hurry up if you still want to see things.

Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one's sensations.
