For My Part I Have Never Avoided

If People Knew What Matisse, Supposedly The Painter Of Happiness, Had Gone Through, The Anguish And Tragedy He Had To Overcome To Manage To Capture That Light Which Has Never Left Him, If People Knew All That, They Would Also Realize That This Happiness, This Light, This Dispassionate Wisdom Which Seems To Be Mine, Are Sometimes Well-deserved, Given The Severity Of My Trials.

Never Ruin A Good Painting With The Truth.

With Color One Obtains An Energy That Seems To Stem From Witchcraft.

It Has Always Bothered Me That I Don't Paint Like Everyone Else

The Truly Original Artist Invents His Own Signs.
