The Subject Should Be Observed More For

The Subject Should Be Observed More For Shape And Color Than For Drawing... Precise Drawing Is Dry And Hampers The Impression Of The Whole, It Destroys All Sensations.

Painting, Art In General, Enchants Me. It Is My Life. What Else Matters? When You Put All Your Soul Into A Work, All That Is Noble In You, You Cannot Fail To Find A Kindred Soul Who Understands You, And You Do Not Need A Host Of Such Spirits. Is Not That All An Artist Should Wish For?

Cover The Canvas At The First Go, And Then Work On Till You See Nothing More To Add ... Don't Proceed According To Rules And Principles, But Paint What You Observe And Feel. Paint Generously And Unhesitatingly, For It Is Best Not To Lose The First Impression.

I Began To Understand My Sensations, To Know What I Wanted, At Around The Age Of Forty - But Only Vaguely.

I Think When One Has Talent One Finally Breaks Through; So Don't Pass Up Any Opportunity To Do Some Work.
