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.

A painting that is well composed is half finished.

It's not a matter of painting life, it's a matter of giving life to painting.

Art will never be able to exist without nature.

One does not always sing out of happiness.

Painting has to get back to its original goal, examining the inner lives of human beings.

Work on the accent, it will enliven the whole.
