The Only Way I Could Work Properly

I Don't Want Any Colour To Be Noticeable... I Don't Want It To Operate In The Modernist Sense As Colour, Something Independent... Full, Saturated Colours Have An Emotional Significance I Want To Avoid.

It Is Through Observation And Perception Of Atmosphere That He [the Artist] Can Register The Feeling That He Wishes His Painting To Give Out.

I Am Only Interested In Painting The Actual Person, In Doing A Painting Of Them, Not In Using Them To Some Ulterior End Of Art. For Me, To Use Someone Doing Something Not Native To Them Would Be Wrong.

Painting Is Sometimes Like Those Recipes Where You Do All Manner Of Elaborate Things To A Duck, And Then End Up Putting It On One Side And Only Using The Skin.

A Painter Must Think Of Everything He Sees As Being There Entirely For His Own Use And Pleasure.
