The Quality Of A Painter Depends On

I'd Like To Live Like A Poor Man With A Lot Of Money.

What Is A Face, Really? Its Own Photo? Its Make-up? Or Is It A Face As Painted By Such Or Such Painter? That Which Is In Front? Inside? Behind? And The Rest? Doesn't Everyone Look At Himself In His Own Particular Way? Deformations Simply Do Not Exist.

Different Themes Inevitably Require Different Methods Of Expression. This Does Not Imply Either Evolution Or Progress; It Is A Matter Of Following The Idea One Wants To Express And The Way In Which One Wants To Express It.

When You Start With A Portrait And Try To Find Pure Form By Abstracting More And More, You Must End Up With An Egg.

An Artist Must Be Very Careful Not To Look For Models. As Soon As One Artist Takes Another As Model, He Is Lost. There Is No Other Point Of Departure Than Reality.
