My aim in life is to make pictures and drawings, as many and as well as I can; then, at the end of my life... looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking, 'Oh, the pictures I might have made!'

We must not judge God from this world. It's just a study that didn't come off. It's only a master who could make such a blunder.

Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.

But after all I find in my work an echo of what struck me. I see that nature has told me something, has spoken to me, and that I have put it down in shorthand. In my shorthand there may be words that cannot be deciphered. There may be mistakes or gap

There is nothing more beautiful than nature early in the morning.

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.

There is no blue without yellow and without orange.
