What I Dream Of Is An Art

A Work Should Contain Its Total Meaning Within Itself And Should Impress It On The Spectator Before He Even Knows The Subject.

Colours Have Their Own Distinctive Beauty That You Have To Preserve, Just As In Music You Try To Preserve Sounds. It Is A Question Of Organization, Of Finding The Arrangement That Will Keep The Beauty And Freshness Of The Colour

The Wall Around The Window Does Not Create Two Worlds.

A Distinction Is Made Between Artists Who Work Directly From Nature And Those Who Work Purely From Imagination. Neither If These Methods Should Be Preferred To The Exclusion Of The Other. Often Both Are Used In Turn By The Same Man.
