The Sensations Of Colors On The Palette

The Circle Is The Synthesis Of The Greatest Oppositions. It Combines The Concentric And The Eccentric In A Single Form And In Equilibrium. Of The Three Primary Forms, It Points Most Clearly To The Fourth Dimension.

In Their Pursuit Of The Same Supreme End, Matisse And Picasso Stand Side By Side, Matisse Representing Color And Picasso Form.

Emotion That I Experienced On First Seeing The Fresh Paint Come Out Of The Tube.. ..the Impression Of Colours Strewn Over The Palette: Of Colours - Alive, Waiting, As Yet Unseen And Hidden In Their Little Tubes...

The Artist Is The Hand That, By Touching This Or That Key, Sets The Soul Vibrating Automatically.

With Cold Eyes And Indifferent Mind The Spectators Regard The Work. Connoissers Admire The "skill" (as One Admires A Tightrope Walker), Enjoy The "quality Of Painting" (as One Enjoys A Pasty). But Hungry Souls Go Hungry Away. The Vulgar Herd Stroll Through The Rooms And Pronounce The Pictures "nice" Or "splendid." Those Who Could Speak Have Said Nothing, Those Who Could Hear Have Heard Nothing.
