In Art There Is Only One Thing

Emotion Should Not Be Rendered By An Excited Trembling; It Can Neither Be Added On Nor Be Imitated. It Is The Seed, The Work Is The Flower.

Once An Object Has Been Incorporated In A Picture It Accepts A New Destiny.

In Art, Progress Lies Not In An Extension, But In A Knowledge Of Limitations.

The Painting Is Finished When The Idea Has Disappeared.

One Has To Guard Against A Formula That Is Good For Everything, That Can Interpret Reality In Addition To The Other Arts, And That Rather Than Creating Can Only Result In A Style, Or A Stylization.
