There Are Some Days When

When I Paint, The Sea Roars Others Splash About In The Bath

When The Creations Of A Genius Collide With The Mind Of A Layman, And Produce An Empty Sound, There Is Little Doubt As To Which Is At Fault.

All Of My Knowledge, Of Both Science And Religion, I Incorporate Into The Classical Tradition Of My Painting.

I Want To Perceive And Understand The Hidden Powers And Laws Of Things, In Order To Have Them In My Power.

Drawing Is The Honesty Of The Art. There Is No Possibility Of Cheating. It Is Either Good Or Bad.
