I Was Very Embarrassed When My Canvases

My Choice Of Colors Does Not Rest On Any Scientific Theory; It Is Based On Observation, On Feeling, On The Experience Of My Sensibility. Inspired By Certain Pages Of Delacroix, An Artist Like Signac Is Preoccupied With Complementary Colors, And The Theoretical Knowledge Of Them Will Lead Him To Use A Certain Tone In A Certain Place. But I Simply Try To Put Down Colors Which Render My Sensation.

The Wall Around The Window Does Not Create Two Worlds.

Simple Colours Can Affect The Intimate Feelings With All The More Force Because They Are Simple.

The Sign Is Determined At The Moment I Use It And For The Object Of Which It Must Form A Part. For This Reason I Cannot Determine In Advance Signs Which Never Change, And Which Would Be Like Writing: That Would Paralyze The Freedom Of My Invention.

Exactitude Is Not Truth.
