The Expression Of Beauty Is In Direct

Painting Is An Essentially Concrete Art And Can Only Consist Of The Representation Of Real And Existing Things.

I Am Fifty Years Old And I Have Always Lived In Freedom; Let Me End My Life Free; When I Am Dead Let This Be Said Of Me: 'he Belonged To No School, To No Church, To No Institution, To No Academy, Least Of All To Any Regime Except The Regime Of Liberty.'

I Hope To Live All My Life For My Art, Without Abandoning My Principles One Iota, Without . . . Having Painted As Much As You Can Cover With Your Hand, To Please Somebody Or In Order To Sell The Picture More Easily.

Beauty Lies In Nature And Reveals, Once The Artist Has Perceived It, Its Own Expressive Power.

The State Is Not Competent In Artistic Matters... When The State Leaves Us Free, It Will Have Carried Out Its Duty.
