What I Wanted To Do Was To

I Guess I'm Not Very Human. All I Really Want To Do Is Paint Light On The Side Of A House.

My Aim In Painting Has Always Been The Most Exact Transcription Possible Of My Most Intimate Impression Of Nature.

I Think That Zinc White Has A Property Of Scaling And Cracking.

The Idea (for The Painting 'room In New York', 1932, Ed.) Had Been In My Mind A Long Time Before I Painted It. It Was Suggested By Glimpses Of Lighted Interiors Seen As I Walked Along City Streets At Night, Probably Near The District Where I Live (washington Square, New York, Fh) Although It's No Particular Street Or House, But Is Really A Synthesis Of Many Impressions.

If The Technical Innovations Of The Impressionists Led Merely To A More Accurate Representation Of Nature, It Was Perhaps Of Not Much Value In Enlarging Their Powers Of Expression.
