An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all... feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end; craft, objective, technique - all these are in the middle.

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

Monet is only an eye, but my God, what an eye!

If I were called upon to define briefly the word Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the senses preceive in nature, seen through the veil of the soul.

The landscape thinks itself in me and I am its consciousness.

I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
