First of all, the art of living; then as my ideal profession, poetry and philosophy, and as my real profession, plastic arts; in the last resort, for lack of income, illustrations.

Art does not reflect what is seen, rather it makes the hidden visible.

Art does not reproduce the visible; it makes visible.

I still come closest to success with drawing.

Color has got me. I no longer need to chase after it. It has got me for ever. I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour.

One eye sees, the other feels.

A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.
