The First Half Of Life

Painting Is Not Done To Decorate Apartments. It Is An Instrument Of War.

One Never Knows What One Is Going To Do. One Starts A Painting And Then It Becomes Something Quite Different.

When I Am Told I Am Too Old To Do Something, I Try To Do It Right Away.

If I Paint A Wild Horse, You Might Not See The Horse... But Surely You Will See The Wildness!

What Does It Mean For A Painter To Paint In The Manner Of So-and-so Or To Actually Imitate Someone Else? What's Wrong With That? On The Contrary, It's A Good Idea. You Should Constantly Try To Paint Like Someone Else. But The Thing Is, You Can't! You Would Like To. You Try. But It Turns Out To Be A Botch... And It's At The Very Moment You Make A Botch Of It That You're Yourself.
