The laws of the colors are unutterably beautiful, just because they are not accidental.

The wheat field has ...poetry; it is like a memory of something one has once seen. We can only make our pictures speak.

I use color in a completely arbitrary way in order to express myself powerfully.

I am painting with the same enthusiasm as a Marseillaise eats bouillabaisse ... I am painting big sunflowers.

Ideas for work are coming to me in abundance...I'm going like a painting-locomotive.

I want to get to the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply.

You can't be at the pole and the equator at the same time. You must choose your own line, as I hope to do, and it will probably be color.
