Don't Waste Your Youth Growing Up.

I See For Others... In Order To Put On Canvas The Sudden Apparitions Which Come To Me.

Everyone Wants To Understand Art. Why Not Try To Understand The Song Of A Bird? Why Does One Love The Night, Flowers, Everything Around One, Without Trying To Understand Them? But In The Case Of A Painting People Have To Understand. If Only They Would Realize Above All That An Artist Works Of Necessity, That He Himself Is Only A Trifling Bit Of The World, And That No More Importance Should Be Attached To Him Than To Plenty Of Other Things Which Please Us In The World, Though We Can't Explain Them. People Who Try To Explain Pictures Are Usually Barking Up The Wrong Tree.

To Model An Object Is To Possess It.

It Took Me Four Years To Paint Like Raphael, But A Lifetime To Paint Like A Child.

This Idea Of Art For Art's Sake Is A Hoax.
