Techniques Vary, Art Stays The Same; It

I Would Like To Paint The Way A Bird Sings.

Getting Up At 4 In The Morning, I Slave Away All Day Until By The Evening I'm Exhausted, And I End By Forgetting All My Responsibilities, Thinking Only Of The Work I've Set Out To Do.

No One Is An Artist Unless He Carries His Picture In His Head Before Painting It, And Is Sure Of His Method And Composition.

I Have Made Tremendous Efforts To Work In A Darker Register And Express The Sinister And Tragic Quality Of The Place, Given My Natural Tendency To Work In Light And Pale Tones.

Canvases Between 8 Centimetres And 1 Metre Are Priced Around 25,000 Francs. In The Past I Used To Sell Them From Between 50 To 100 Francs At The Most. I Have To Say... That I Feel Somewhat Embarrassed At This Admission.
