The Truly Original Artist Invents His Own

I Am Unable To Distinguish Between The Feeling I Have For Life And My Way Of Expressing It.

Color Was Not Given To Us In Order That We Should Imitate Nature. It Was Given To Us So That We Can Express Our Emotions.

It Is Through The Human Figure That I Best Succeed In Expressing The Nearly Religious Feeling That I Have Towards Life.

My Choice Of Colors Does Not Rest On Any Scientific Theory; It Is Based On Observation, On Feeling, On The Experience Of My Sensibility. Inspired By Certain Pages Of Delacroix, An Artist Like Signac Is Preoccupied With Complementary Colors, And The Theoretical Knowledge Of Them Will Lead Him To Use A Certain Tone In A Certain Place. But I Simply Try To Put Down Colors Which Render My Sensation.

After A Half-century Of Hard Work And Reflection The Wall Is Still There.
