Even When I Have To Write A

I Have Never Painted A Self-portrait. I Am Less Interested In Myself As A Subject For A Painting Than I Am In Other People, Above All Women... There Is Nothing Special About Me. I Am A Painter Who Paints Day After Day From Morning To Night... Who Ever Wants To Know Something About Me... Ought To Look Carefully At My Pictures.

There Is Always Hope, As Long As The Canvases Are Empty.

Art Is A Line Around Your Thoughts.

If The Weather Is Good I Go Into The Nearby Wood - There I Am Painting A Small Beech Forest (in The Sun) With A Few Conifers Mixed In. This Takes Until 8 'o Clock.

Whoever Wants To Know Something About Me - As An Artist Which Alone Is Significant - They Should Look Attentively At My Pictures And There Seek To Recognise What I Am And What I Want.
