A good painter needs only three colours: black, white and red.

It is not bright colors but good drawing that makes figures beautiful.

From the example of the past, the man of the present acts prudently so as not to imperil the future.

Those who are compelled to paint by force, without being in the necessary mood, can produce only ungainly works, because this profession requires an unruffled temper.

I think I am beginning to learn something about painting.

The painter must always seek the essence of things, always represent the essential characteristics and emotions of the person he is painting.

Loneliness and darkness have just robbed me of my valuables.

A leader without a title is better than a title without the ability to lead.
