I Want To Die Painting.

One Must See One's Model Correctly And Experience It In The Right Way; And Furthermore Express Oneself Forcibly And With Distinction.

I'd Like To Combine Melancholy And Sunshine... There's A Sadness In Provence Which No One Has Expressed... I'd Like To Put Reason In The Grass And Tears In The Sky, Like Poussin.

Time And Reflection Change The Sight Little By Little 'till We Come To Understand.

All My Compatriots Are Asses Compared To Me.

I Lack The Magnificent Richness Of Color That Animates Nature.
