You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete. It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover.
From Henri Matisse
I wouldn't mind turning into a vermilion goldfish.
It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.
I have been no more than a medium, as it were.
Work cures everything.
My curves are not crazy.
Exactitude is not truth.
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
Impressionism is the newspaper of the soul.
It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.
