What Matters Is Real Love For Things

Painting Constantly Appeared To Me As The One And Only Possible Achievement.

Colour, As The Strange And Magnificent Expression Of The Inscrutable Spectrum Of Eternity, Is Beautiful And Important To Me As A Painter; I Use It To Enrich The Canvas And To Probe More Deeply Into The Object. Colour Also Decided, To A Certain Extent, My Spiritual Outlook, But It Is Subordinated To Life, And Above All, To The Treatment Of Form. Too Much Emphasis On Colour At The Expense Of Form And Space Would Make A Double Manifestation Of Itself On The Canvas, And This Would Verge On Craft Work.

The Laws Of Art Are Eternal And Don't Change At All, As The Moral Laws Don't Change In Human Beings.

It Was So Wonderful Outside That Even The Wild Senselessness Of This Enormous Death, Whose Music I Hear Again And Again, Could Not Disturb Me From My Great Enjoyment!

Learn By Heart The Forms To Be Found In Nature, So That You Can Use Them Like The Notes In A Musical Composition. That Is What These Forms Are For. Nature Is A Marvelous Chaos, And It Is Our Job And Our Duty To Bring Order Into That Chaos And - To Perfect It.
