What I Am After, Above All, Is

Composition Is The Art Of Arranging In A Decorative Manner The Various Elements Which The Painter Uses To Express His Sentiments. In A Picture Every Separate Part Will Be Visible And... Everything Which Has No Utility In The Picture Is For That Reason Harmful.

I Want To Reach That Condensation Of Sensations That Constitutes A Picture.

Truth And Reality In Art Do Not Arise Until You No Longer Understand What You Are Doing And Are Capable Of But Nevertheless Sense A Power That Grows In Proportion To Your Resistance.

Purer Colors... Have In Themselves, Independently Of The Objects They Serve To Express, A Significant Action On The Feelings Of Those Who Look At Them.

Time Extracts Various Values From A Painter's Work. When These Values Are Exhausted The Pictures Are Forgotten, And The More A Picture Has To Give, The Greater It Is.
