Art Is Really A Battle.

I Felt So Insufficiently Equipped, So Unprepared, So Weak, And At The Same Time It Seemed To Me That My Reflections On Art Were Correct. I Quarreled With All The World And With Myself.

The Fascinating Thing, Is Not To Show The Source Of Light, But The Effect Of Light.

Art Is Vice. One Does Not Wed It, One Rapes It.

Hitherto The Nude Has Always Been Represented In Poses Which Presuppose An Audience. But My Women Are Simple, Honest Creatures Who Are Concerned With Nothing Beyond Their Physical Occupations... It Is As If You Were Looking Through A Keyhole.

Taste! It Doesn't Exist. An Artist Makes Beautiful Things Without Being Aware Of It.
