I Wouldn't Mind Turning Into A Vermilion

Color, Even More Than Drawing, Is A Means Of Liberation.

I Am Unable To Make Any Distinction Between The Feeling I Get From Life And The Way I Translate That Feeling Into Painting.

I Didn't Expect To Recover From My Second Operation But Since I Did, I Consider That I'm Living On Borrowed Time. Every Day That Dawns Is A Gift To Me And I Take It In That Way. I Accept It Gratefully Without Looking Beyond It. I Completely Forget My Physical Suffering And All The Unpleasantness Of My Present Condition And I Think Only Of The Joy Of Seeing The Sun Rise Once More And Of Being Able To Work A Little Bit, Even Under Difficult Conditions.

A Work Should Contain Its Total Meaning Within Itself And Should Impress It On The Spectator Before He Even Knows The Subject.

When You're Out Of Will Power You Call On Stubbornness, That's The Trick.
