Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.

You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.

I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

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

The artist must scorn all judgment that is not based on an intelligent observation of character. He must beware of the literary spirit which so often causes a painting to deviate from its true path - the concrete study of nature - to lose itself all too long in intangible speculations.

If I think, everything is lost.
