How Many Days Have I Spent Alone

What Attracted Me Was Less Art Itself Than The Artist’s Life And All That It Meant For Me: The Idea Of Creativity And Freedom Of Expression And Action. I Had Been Attracted To Painting And Drawing For A Long Time, But It Was Not An Irresistible Passion; What I Wanted, At All Costs, Was To Escape The Monotony Of Life.

The Artist Who Paints The Emotions Creates An Enclosed World... The Picture... Which, Like A Book, Has The Same Interest No Matter Where It Happens To Be. Such An Artist, We May Imagine, Spends A Great Deal Of Time Doing Nothing But Looking, Both Around Him And Inside Him.

It Seemed To Me That It Was Possible To Translate Light, Forms, And Character Using Nothing But Color, Without Recourse To Values.

The Expression On My Face - Who On Earth Would Be Interested In That? All That I Have To Say Is To Be Found In My Works. (on Being Photographed)

You Reason Colour More Than You Reason Drawing Colour Has A Logic As Severe As Form.
