Nothing Can Be Accomplished Without Love.

If I Close My Eyes, I See Things Better Than With My Eyes Open.

What I Am After, Above All, Is Expression.

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.

If People Knew What Matisse, Supposedly The Painter Of Happiness, Had Gone Through, The Anguish And Tragedy He Had To Overcome To Manage To Capture That Light Which Has Never Left Him, If People Knew All That, They Would Also Realize That This Happiness, This Light, This Dispassionate Wisdom Which Seems To Be Mine, Are Sometimes Well-deserved, Given The Severity Of My Trials.

The Truly Original Artist Invents His Own Signs.
