The Artist Begins With A Vision -

The Splitting Up Of Color [as Impressionists Did] Brought The Splitting Up Of Form And Contour . . . Everything Is Reduced To A Mere Sensation Of The Retina, But One Which Destroys All Tranquility Of Surface And Contour. Objects Are Differentiated Only By The Luminosity That Is Given Them.

When I Paint Green, It Doesn't Mean Grass; When I Paint Blue, It Doesn't Mean Sky.

Creation Is The Artist's True Function; Where There Is No Creation There Is No Art.

You Must Forget All Your Theories, All Your Ideas Before The Subject. What Part Of These Is Really Your Own Will Be Expressed In Your Expression Of The Emotion Awakened In You By The Subject.

The Whole Arrangement Of My Picture Is Expressive. The Place Occupied By The Figures Or Objects, The Empty Spaces Around Them, The Proportions, Everything Plays A Part.
