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.

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

Art will never be able to exist without nature.

And after drawing comes composition. A well-composed painting is half done

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

You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.

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