The Air We See In The Paintings

A Picture Is An Artificial Work, Outside Nature. It Calls For As Much Cunning As The Commission Of A Crime.

One Must Have A High Opinion Of A Work Of Art - Not The Work One Is Creating At The Moment, But Of That Which One Desires To Achieve One Day. Without This It Is Not Worthwhile Working.

Even In Front Of Nature One Must Compose.

A Man Is An Artist Only At Certain Moments, By An Effort Of Will. Objects Have The Same Appearance For Everybody.

Boredom Soon Overcomes Me When I Am Contemplating Nature.
