Each painting is a plunge into the unknown.

Cubism came about because, in the process of analyzing form, something that lay in the form, a plane, could be lifted out to float on its own.

Impressionism came about because it suddenly became apparent that pure colours mix in the eye in a more dazzling way than they have ever been mixed in paint.

I don't want to always be doing the same old thing.

No artist, if he has original talent, can paint like another.

There is my love... of the young artists of my country who can carry on the dreams and ideals into the future.

Photography is just light remembering itself.

Let us prefer the lonely cottage, while blest with liberty, to gilded palaces, surrounded with the ensigns of slavery.

God will not have his work made manifest by cowards

I've learned ruthless concentration. I can write under any circumstances...street noises, loud talk, music, you name it.
