The Artist Does Not Draw What He

The Secret Is To Follow The Advice The Masters Give You In Their Works While Doing Something Different From Them.

Truth Is Never Ugly When One Can Find In It What One Needs.

The Artist Does Not Draw What He Sees, But What He Must Make Others See. Only When He No Longer Knows What He Is Doing Does The Painter Do Good Things. A Picture Is First Of All A Product Of The Imagination Of The Artist; It Must Never Be A Copy. If Then Two Or Three Natural Accents Can Be Added, Obviously No Harm Is Done. The Air We See In The Paintings Of The Old Masters Is Never The Air We Breathe.

It Seems To Me That Today If The Artist Wishes To Be Serious... He Must Once More Sink Himself In Solitude.

A Painting Requires A Little Mystery, Some Vagueness, And Some Fantasy. When You Always Make Your Meaning Perfectly Plain You End Up Boring People.
