In Painting You Must Give The Idea

I Would Have Been In Mortal Misery All My Life For Fear My Wife Might Say, "that's A Pretty Little Thing," After I Had Finished A Picture.

If I Could Have Had My Own Way, I Would Have Confined Myself To Black And White.

A Painting Requires A Little Mystery, Some Vagueness, And Some Fantasy. When You Always Make Your Meaning Perfectly Plain You End Up Boring People.

The Museums Are Here To Teach The History Of Art And Something More As Well, For, If They Stimulate In The Weak A Desire To Imitate, They Furnish The Strong With The Means Of Their Emancipation.

I Frequently Lock Myself In My Studio. I Do Not Often See The People I Love, And In The End I Shall Suffer For It... Painting Is One's Private Life.
