True Artists Are Almost The Only Men

I Grant You That The Artist Does Not See Nature As She Appears To The Vulgar, Because His Emotion Reveals To Him The Hidden Truths Beneath Appearances.

An Artist Worthy Of The Name Should Express All The Truth Of Nature, Not Only The Exterior Truth, But Also, And Above All, The Inner Truth.

I Have Unbounded Admiration For The Nude. I Worship It Like A God.

There Are Unknown Forces In Nature; When We Give Ourselves Wholly To Her, Without Reserve, She Lends Them To Us; She Shows Us These Forms, Which Our Watching Eyes Do Not See, Which Our Intelligence Does Not Understand Or Suspect.

Black Is The Queen Of Colours.
