+ The artist
who paints the emotions creates an enclosed world.. the picture.. which, like
a book, has the same interest no matter where it happens to be. Such an artist,
we may imagine, spends a great deal of time doing nothing but looking, both around
him and inside him.
+ A painting that is well composed is half finished.
+
The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas
as fast as possible.
+
It seemed to me that it was possible to translate light, forms, and character
using nothing but color, without recourse to values.
+
The painter's only solid ground is the palette and colors, but as soon as the
colors achieve an illusion, they are no longer judged +
The principal subject is the surface, which has its color, its laws over and above
those of object.
