For My Part, I Can't

It Is My Misfortune - And Probably My Delight - To Use Things As My Passions Tell Me. What A Miserable Fate For A Painter Who Adores Blondes To Have To Stop Himself Putting Them Into A Picture Because They Don't Go With The Basket Of Fruit! . . . I Put All The Things I Like Into My Pictures. The Things - So Much The Worse For Them. They Just Have To Put Up With It.

Art Is The Lie That Enables Us To Realize The Truth.

No, Painting Is Not Interior Decoration. It Is An Instrument Of War For Attack And Defense Against The Enemy.

If I Knew What The Meaning Of Art Was, I Wouldn't Tell You.

Inspiration Exists, But It Has To Find Us Working.
