The work of art must seize upon you, wrap you up in itself, carry you away. It is the means by which the artist conveys his passion; it is the current which he puts forth which sweeps you along in his passion.

The purpose of painting is to decorate the walls. Therefore it has to be as rich as possible

Work lovingly done is the secret of all order and all happiness.

I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.

Shall I tell you what I think are the two qualities of a work of art? First, it must be indescribable, and second, it must be inimitable.

I have a predilection for painting that lends joyousness to a wall.

It's with my brush that I make love.
