Starting To Paint, I Felt Gloriously Free,

When A Painting Is Finished, It's Like A New Born Child, And The Artist Himself Must Have Time For Understanding. How Then Do You Expect An Amateur To Understand That Which The Artist Dos Not Yet Comprehend.

Slowly I Discovered The Secret Of My Art. It Consists Of A Meditation On Nature, On The Expression Of A Dream Which Is Always Inspired By Reality. With More Involvement And Regularity, I Learned To Push Each Study In A Certain Direction. Little By Little The Notion That Painting Is A Means Of Expression Asserted Itself, And That One Can Express The Same Thing In Several Ways. Exactitude Is Not Truth, Delacroix Liked To Say.

With Greater Completeness And Abstraction, I Have Attained A Form Filtered To Its Essentials.

A Thimbleful Of Red Is Redder Than A Bucketful.

I Don't Paint Things. I Only Paint The Difference Between Things.
