The Residuum Of Another's Expression Can Never

Time Extracts Various Values From A Painter's Work. When These Values Are Exhausted The Pictures Are Forgotten, And The More A Picture Has To Give, The Greater It Is.

A Rapid Rendering Of A Landscape Represents Only One Moment Of Its Existence. I Prefer, By Insisting Upon Its Essential Character, To Risk Losing Charm In Order To Gain Greater Stability.

The Whole Arrangement Of My Picture Is Expressive. The Place Occupied By The Figures Or Objects, The Empty Spaces Around Them, The Proportions, Everything Plays A Part.

The Wall Around The Window Does Not Create Two Worlds.

My Choice Of Colors Does Not Rest On Any Scientific Theory; It Is Based On Observation, On Feeling, On The Experience Of My Sensibility. Inspired By Certain Pages Of Delacroix, An Artist Like Signac Is Preoccupied With Complementary Colors, And The Theoretical Knowledge Of Them Will Lead Him To Use A Certain Tone In A Certain Place. But I Simply Try To Put Down Colors Which Render My Sensation.
