My Pictures Are Made Up Of Four

Art Is An Escape From Reality.

All Art Worthy Of The Name Is Religious.

I Don't Paint Women, I Paint Pictures. . . What I Am After Above All Is Expression. If In A Portrait I Put Eyes, A Nose, A Mouth, There Isn't Much Use; On The Contrary It Paralyses The Imagination Of The Spectator, And Obliges Us To See The Person In A Certain Way.

An Artist Must Possess Nature. He Must Identify Himself With Her Rhythm, By Efforts That Will Prepare The Mastery Which Will Later Enable Him To Express Himself In His Own Language.

Cutting Straight Into Color Reminds Me Of The Direct Carving Of The Sculptor.
