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 Picture Quote #1

The painter’s only solid ground is the palette and colors, but as soon as the colors achieve an illusion, they are no longer judged Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You reason color more than you reason drawing... Color has a logic as severe as form Picture Quote #1

The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible Picture Quote #1
