A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.

Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.

With a painter's temperament, all that's needed are the means of expression sufficient to be intelligible to the wide public.

I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.

The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.

You say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.
