The Artist Does Not Draw What He

The Artist Does Not Draw What He Sees, But What He Has To Make Others See.

One Reproduces Only That Which Is Striking; That Is To Say, The Necessary. Thus, One's Recollections And Inventions Are Liberated From The Tyranny Which Nature Exerts.

Art Is Vice. One Does Not Wed It, One Rapes It.

Muses Work All Day Long And Then At Night Get Together And Dance.

Boredom Soon Overcomes Me When I Am Contemplating Nature.
