Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.

I allow no one to touch me.

I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.

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

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.

Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.

I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
