Drawing Is Of The Spirit And Color

There Is Nothing More Difficult For A Truly Creative Painter Than To Paint A Rose, Because Before He Can Do So He Has First To Forget All The Roses That Were Ever Painted.

The Splitting Up Of Color [as Impressionists Did] Brought The Splitting Up Of Form And Contour . . . Everything Is Reduced To A Mere Sensation Of The Retina, But One Which Destroys All Tranquility Of Surface And Contour. Objects Are Differentiated Only By The Luminosity That Is Given Them.

From The First Shock Of The Contemplation Of A Face Depends The Principal Sensation Which Guides Me Throughout The Entire Execution Of A Portrait.

Art Is An Escape From Reality.
