It's Not A Matter Of

The Artist Who Paints The Emotions Creates An Enclosed World... The Picture... Which, Like A Book, Has The Same Interest No Matter Where It Happens To Be. Such An Artist, We May Imagine, Spends A Great Deal Of Time Doing Nothing But Looking, Both Around Him And Inside Him.

You Reason Colour More Than You Reason Drawing Colour Has A Logic As Severe As Form.

Art Will Never Be Able To Exist Without Nature.

I Am Just Beginning To Understand What It Is To Paint. A Painter Should Have Two Lives, One In Which To Learn, And One In Which To Practice His Art.

What Attracted Me Was Less Art Itself Than The Artist’s Life And All That It Meant For Me: The Idea Of Creativity And Freedom Of Expression And Action. I Had Been Attracted To Painting And Drawing For A Long Time, But It Was Not An Irresistible Passion; What I Wanted, At All Costs, Was To Escape The Monotony Of Life.
