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

Drawing and color are not separate at all; in so far as you paint, you draw. The more color harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes. When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also

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

An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all... feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end; craft, objective, technique - all these are in the middle.

Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors.

The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.

Two sittings a day of my models and I'm totally exhausted.
