I Owe You The Truth

Light Is A Thing That Cannot Be Reproduced, But Must Be Represented By Something Else - By Color.

My Nervous System Is Enfeebled, Only Work In Oils Can Sustain Me.

For An Impressionist To Paint From Nature Is Not To Paint The Subject, But To Realize Sensations.

I Am Still Searching For The Expression Of Those Confused Sensations That We Bring With Us At Birth.

All My Life I Have Worked To Be Able To Earn My Living, But I Thought That One Could Do Good Painting Without Attracting Attention To One's Private Life. Certainly, An Artist Wishes To Raise Himself Intellectually As Much As Possible, But The Man Must Remain Obscure. The Pleasure Must Be Found In The Work.
