I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.

Drawing is feeling. Color is an act of reason.

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.

What attracted me was less art itself than the artist’s life and all that it meant for me: the idea of creativity and freedom of expression and action. I had been attracted to painting and drawing for a long time, but it was not an irresistible passion; what I wanted, at all costs, was to escape the monotony of life.

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.
