An Artist Must Never Be A Prisoner.

What's So Astonishing About Not Understanding? There Are So Many Things In Art, Beginning With Art Itself, That One Doesn't Understand. A Painter Doesn't See Everything That He Has Put In His Painting.

I Am Curious About Color As One Would Be Visiting A New Country, Because I Have Never Concentrated So Closely On Color Expression. Up To Now I Have Waited At The Gates Of The Temple.

It Is Not Enough To Place Colors, However Beautiful, One Beside The Other; Colors Must Also React On One Another. Otherwise, You Have Cacophony.

For My Part I Have Never Avoided The Influence Of Others. I Would Have Considered It Cowardice And A Lack Of Sincerity Toward Myself.

The Artist Has To Look At Life As He Did When He Was A Child. If He Loses That Faculty, He Cannot Express Himself In An Original, That Is, A Personal Way.
