Precision Is Not Reality

Whoever Wishes To Devote Himself To Painting Should Begin By Cutting Out His Own Tongue

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.

The Effort To See Things Without Distortion Takes Something Like Courage And This Courage Is Essential To The Artist, Who Has To Look At Everything As Though He Saw It For The First Time.

Never Ruin A Good Painting With The Truth.

What Interests Me Most Is Neither Still Life Nor Landscape, But The Human Figure.
