An artist's job is to surprise himself. Use all means possible.

Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.

Count on big lines to express your ideas.

The picture that looks as if it were done without an effort may have been a perfect battlefield in its making.

It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.

Perhaps whatever there is in my work that may be really interesting to others and surely what is interesting to me, is the result of a sometimes successful effort to free myself from any idea that what I produce must be art.

Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
