+
The flat sound of my wooden clogs on the cobblestones,
deep, hollow and powerful, is the note I seek in
my painting.
+ I
wished to suggest by means of a simple nude, a certain
long-lost barbaric luxury.
+ Oh yes! he loved yellow, this good Vincent,
this painter from Holland - those glimmers of sunlight
rekindled his soul, that abhorred the fog, that
needed the warmth.
+ We never really know what stupidity
is until we have experimented on ourselves.
+ But I owe something to Vincent, and that is,
in the consciousness of having been useful to him,
the confirmation of my own original ideas about
painting. And also, at difficult moments, the remembrance
that one finds others unhappier than oneself.
+ Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
+ Life is hardly more than a fraction of
a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself
for eternity!
