One Had To Immerse Oneself In One's

I Owe You The Truth In Painting, And I Will Tell It To You.

There Are Two Things In The Painter, The Eye And The Mind; Each Of Them Should Aid The Other.

Shadow Is A Colour As Light Is, But Less Brilliant; Light And Shadow Are Only The Relation Of Two Tones.

The Transposition That A Painter Makes With An Original Vision Gives To The Representation Of Nature A New Interest.

Painting, Like Any Art, Comprises A Technique, A Workmanlike Handling Of Material, But The Accuracy Of A Tone And The Fictitious Combination Of Effects Depend Entirely On The Choice Made By The Artist.
