I Wouldn't Mind Turning Into A Vermilion

Truth And Reality In Art Do Not Arise Until You No Longer Understand What You Are Doing And Are Capable Of But Nevertheless Sense A Power That Grows In Proportion To Your Resistance.

I Want To Reach That Condensation Of Sensations That Constitutes A Picture.

The Role Of The Artist, Like That Of The Scholar, Consists Of Seizing Current Truths Often Repeated To Him, But Which Will Take On New Meaning For Him And Which He Will Make His Own When He Has Grasped Their Deepest Significance.

It Is Through The Human Figure That I Best Succeed In Expressing The Nearly Religious Feeling That I Have Towards Life.

...i Am Driven On By An Idea That I Really Only Grasp As It Grows With The Picture.
