I Was Driven On By.. A Force

Simple Colours Can Affect The Intimate Feelings With All The More Force Because They Are Simple.

The Whole Arrangement Of My Picture Is Expressive. The Place Occupied By The Figures Or Objects, The Empty Spaces Around Them, The Proportions, Everything Plays A Part.

The Splitting Up Of Color [as Impressionists Did] Brought The Splitting Up Of Form And Contour . . . Everything Is Reduced To A Mere Sensation Of The Retina, But One Which Destroys All Tranquility Of Surface And Contour. Objects Are Differentiated Only By The Luminosity That Is Given Them.

The Wall Around The Window Does Not Create Two Worlds.

If I Close My Eyes, I See Things Better Than With My Eyes Open.
