Through her paintings, she breaks all the taboos of the woman's body and of female sexuality.

To be an artist, one must . . . never shirk from the truth as he understands it, never withdraw from life

As an artist I have always tried to be faithful to my vision of life, and I have frequently been in conflict with those who wanted me to paint not what I saw but what they wished me to see.

The rôle of the artist is that of a soldier of the revolution.

I've never believed in God, but I believe in Picasso.

Looking back upon my work today, I think the best I have done grew out of things deeply felt, the worst from a pride in mere talent.

Art is like ham-it nourishes people.
