It Is Not Enough To Place Colors,

I Never Retouch A Sketch: I Take A Canvas The Same Size, As I May Change The Composition Somewhat. But I Always Strive To Give The Same Feeling, While Carrying It On Further.

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.

There Is Nothing More Difficult For A Truly Creative Painter Than To Paint A Rose, Because Before He Can Do So He Has First To Forget All The Roses That Were Ever Painted.

There Is No Interruption Between My Older Paintings And My Cutouts. Just That With An Increasing Sense Of The Absolute, And More Abstraction, I Have Achieved A Form That Is Simplified To Its Essence.

Drawing Is Of The Spirit And Color Of The Senses.
