Black Is The Queen Of Colours.

I Believe That Photography Can Create Great Works Of Art, But Hitherto It Has Been Extraordinarily Bourgeois And Babbling. (1908)

You Must Always Work.

A Mediocre Man Copying Nature Will Never Produce A Work Of Art, Because He Really Looks Without Seeing, And Though He May Have Noted Each Detail Minutely, The Result Will Be Flat And Without Character... The Artist On The Contrary, Sees; That Is To Say, His Eye, Grafted On His Heart, Reads Deeply Into The Bosom Of Nature.

Recently I Have Taken To Isolating Limbs, The Torso. Why Am I Blamed For It? Why Is The Head Allowed And Not Portions Of The Body? Every Part Of The Human Figure Is Expressive.

To Any Artist, Worthy Of The Name, All In Nature Is Beautiful, Because His Eyes, Fearlessly Accepting All Exterior Truth, Read There, As In An Open Book, All The Inner Truth.
