Shut your eyes, wait, think of nothing. Now, open them... one sees nothing but a great coloured undulation. What then? An irradiation and glory of colour. This is what a picture should give us... an abyss in which the eye is lost, a secret germination, a coloured state of grace... loose conciousness. Descend with the painter into the dim tangled roots of things, and rise again from them in colours, be steeped in the light of them Picture Quote #1

All the theories mess you up inside Picture Quote #1

Treat nature by the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, everything in proper perspective so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point Picture Quote #1

Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors Picture Quote #1

Under this fine rain I breathe in the innocence of the world. I feel coloured by the nuances of infinity. At this moment I am one with my picture. We are an iridescent chaos Picture Quote #1

The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life Picture Quote #1

Get to the heart of what is before you and continue to express yourself as logically as possible Picture Quote #1

Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals Picture Quote #1

I have to keep working, not to arrive at finish, which arouses the admiration of fools... I must seek completion only for the pleasure of being truer and more knowing Picture Quote #1

The strong experience of nature... is the necessary basis for all conception of art on which rests the grandeur and beauty of all future work Picture Quote #1

I am beginning to consider myself stronger than all those around me, and you know that the good opinion I have of myself has only been reached after mature consideration Picture Quote #1

Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist Picture Quote #1

Fruits... like having their portrait painted. They seem to sit there and ask your forgiveness for fading. Their thought is given off with their perfumes. They come with all their scents, they speak of the fields they have left, the rain which has nourished them, the daybreaks they have seen Picture Quote #1

Right now a moment of time is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate... Give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time Picture Quote #1

All my compatriots are asses compared to me Picture Quote #1

I cannot attain the intensity that is unfolded before my senses. I have not the magnificent richness of colouring that animates nature Picture Quote #1

Talks on art are almost useless. The work which goes to bring progress in one’s own subject is sufficient compensation for the incomprehension of imbeciles Picture Quote #1

I am progressing very slowly, for nature reveals herself to me in very complex forms; and the progress needed is incessant Picture Quote #1
