Color cannot stand alone.

The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.

The observer must learn to look at the picture as a graphic representation of a mood and not as a representation of objects.

Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body.

Generally speaking, color directly influences the soul.

As a picture painted in yellow always radiates spiritual warmth, or as one in blue has apparently a cooling effect, so green is only boring.

Those [things] that we encounter for the first time immediately have a spiritual effect upon us. A child, for whom every object is new, experiences the world in this way: it sees light, is attracted by it, wants to grasp it, burns its finger in the process, and thus learns fear and respect for the flame.
