Art Is A Wholly Physical Language Whose

Fine Art Is Knowledge Made Visible.

The Beautiful Is In Nature, And It Is Encountered Under The Most Diverse Forms Of Reality. Once It Is Found It Belongs To Art, Or Rather To The Artist Who Discovers It.

I Hope To Live All My Life For My Art, Without Abandoning My Principles One Iota, Without . . . Having Painted As Much As You Can Cover With Your Hand, To Please Somebody Or In Order To Sell The Picture More Easily.

It Is Fatal For Art If It Is Forced Into Official Respectability And Condemned To Sterile Mediocrity.

Painting Is The Representation Of Visible Forms. The Essence Of Realism Is Its Negation Of The Ideal.
