There Is Nothing More Beautiful Than Nature

The World Concerns Me Only In So Far As I Feel A Certain Indebtedness And Duty Toward It Because I Have Walked This Earth For Thirty Years, And, Out Of Gratitude, Want To Leave Some Souvenir In The Shape Of Drawings Or Pictures — Not Made To Please A Certain Taste In Art, But To Express A Sincere Human Feeling.

Painting Is A Faith, And It Imposes The Duty To Disregard Public Opinion.

One Must Work And Dare If One Really Wants To Live.

I Do Not Know Myself How I Paint It. I Sit Down With A White Board Before The Spot That Strikes Me. I Look At What Is Before My Eyes, And Say To Myself, That White Board Must Become Something.

Seek Only Light And Freedom And Do Not Immerse Yourself Too Deeply In The Worldly Mire.
