My whole life has been nothing more than a continuous struggle against Reaction and the death of art.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.

He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.

You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

I paint the way someone bites his fingernails; for me, painting is a bad habit because I don't know nor can I do anything else.
