Drawing Is Your Understanding Of Form.

Art' Is The Same Word As 'artifice,' That Is To Say, Something Deceitful. It Must Succeed In Giving The Impression Of Nature By False Means.

I Don't Admit That A Woman Draws That Well!

I Felt So Insufficiently Equipped, So Unprepared, So Weak, And At The Same Time It Seemed To Me That My Reflections On Art Were Correct. I Quarreled With All The World And With Myself.

The Moods Of Sadness That Come Over Anyone Who Takes Up Art... These Dismal Moods Have Very Little Compensation.

It Is All Very Well To Copy What One Sees, But It Is Far Better To Draw What One Now Only Sees In One's Memory. That Is A Transformation In Which Imagination Collaborates With Memory.
