I Too Am A Government.

Beauty Lies In Nature And Reveals, Once The Artist Has Perceived It, Its Own Expressive Power.

Fine Art Is Knowledge Made Visible.

I Am Fifty Years Old And I Have Always Lived In Freedom; Let Me End My Life Free; When I Am Dead Let This Be Said Of Me: 'he Belonged To No School, To No Church, To No Institution, To No Academy, Least Of All To Any Regime Except The Regime Of Liberty.'

The Beautiful Is In Nature, And It Is Encountered Under The Most Diverse Forms Of Reality. Once It Is Found It Belongs To Art, Or Rather To The Artist Who Discovers It.

I Have Never Seen Either Angels Or Goddesses, So I Am Not Interested In Painting Them.
