I Have Never Seen Either Angels Or

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.

Beauty, Like Truth, Is Relative To The Time When One Lives And To The Individual Who Can Grasp It.

Titles Have Never Given A Just Idea Of Things; Were It Otherwise, The Work Would Be Superfluous.

Painting Is An Essentially Concrete Art And Can Only Consist Of The Representation Of Real And Existing Things.

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