Ah! My dear friend painting is to us what the music of Berlioz and Wagner was before us - a consolatory art for sore hearts! And yet there are only a few like you and me who feel it!!!

Great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed.

What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter and then the painting.

The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.

As you can see, I am immersing myself in color-I've held back from that until now; and I don't regret it.

I am always in the hope to express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors - colors which marry each other... complement each other as a man and a woman do.

For me work is an absolute necessity, indeed I can't really drag it out, I take no more pleasure in anything than in work, that's to say, pleasure in other things stops immediately and I become melancholy if I can't get on with the work.
