Every picture shows a spot with which the artist has fallen in love.

The animation of the canvas is one of the hardest problems of painting.

I like all those painters who loved and had a strong feeling for nature.

Though the artist must remain master of his craft, the surface, at times raised to the highest pitch of loveliness, should transmit to the beholder the sensation which possessed the artist.

I always start a painting with the sky.

In the investigation of a neurotic style of life, we must always suspect an opponent, and note who suffers most because of the patient's condition. Usually this is a member of the family.
