I Paint As If I Were Rothschild.

I Am The Primitive Of The Method I Have Invented.

The Artist Makes Things Concrete And Gives Them Individuality.

Everything In Nature Is Formed Upon The Sphere, The Cone And The Cylinder. One Must Learn To Paint These Simple Figures And Then One Can Do All That He May Wish.

A Thousand Painters Ought To Be Killed Yearly. Say What You Like: I'm Every Inch A Painter.

In Order To Make Progress, There Is Only Nature, And The Eye Is Turned Through Contact With Her.
