Oh, Yes, I Was A Great Retoucher.

I Paint What Cannot Be Photographed, That Which Comes From The Imagination Or From Dreams, Or From An Unconscious Drive.

A Creator Needs Only One Enthusiast To Justify Him.

I Have Never Painted A Recent Picture.

Nature Does Not Create Works Of Art. It Is We, And The Faculty Of Interpretation Peculiar To The Human Mind, That See Art.

Cut Out The Eye From A Photograph Of One Who Has Been Loved But Is Seen No More. Attach The Eye To The Pendulum Of A Metronome And Regulate The Weight To Suit The Tempo Desired. Keep Going To The Limit Of Endurance. With A Hammer Well-aimed, Try To Destroy The Whole At A Single Blow.
