Pure Drawing Is An Abstraction.

All The Theories Mess You Up Inside.

I Am Not Altogether Displeased With The Shirt-front.

The Artist Must Scorn All Judgment That Is Not Based On An Intelligent Observation Of Character. He Must Beware Of The Literary Spirit Which So Often Causes A Painting To Deviate From Its True Path - The Concrete Study Of Nature - To Lose Itself All Too Long In Intangible Speculations.

I Am Still Searching For The Expression Of Those Confused Sensations That We Bring With Us At Birth.

The Painter Must Enclose Himself Within His Work; He Must Respond Not With Words, But With Paintings.
