Right now a moment of time is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate...Give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.

The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.

I want to die painting.

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.

An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.

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

The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
