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

What a splendid thing watercolour is to express atmosphere and distance, so that the figure is surrounded by air and can breathe in it.

Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.

It is the language of nature to which one has to listen.

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

I think that I still have it in my heart someday to paint a bookshop with the front yellow and pink in the evening...like a light in the midst of the darkness.

Admire as much as you can. Most people do not admire enough.
