There Is No Interruption Between My Older

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.

Fit The Parts Together, One Into The Other, And Build Your Figure Like A Carpenter Builds A House. Everything Must Be Constructed, Composed Of Parts That Make A Whole.

Composition Is The Art Of Arranging In A Decorative Manner The Various Elements Which The Painter Uses To Express His Sentiments. In A Picture Every Separate Part Will Be Visible And... Everything Which Has No Utility In The Picture Is For That Reason Harmful.

Color, Even More Than Drawing, Is A Means Of Liberation.

When You're Out Of Will Power You Call On Stubbornness, That's The Trick.
