Today One Can Dare Anything, And, Furthermore,

Do Not Copy Nature Too Much. Art Is An Abstraction.

I Was Aware That On My Skill As A Painter Would Depend The Physical And Moral Possession Of The Model.

Silence! I Am Learning To Know The Silence Of A Tahitian Night.

I Made A Promise To Keep A Watch Over Myself, To Remain Master Of Myself, So That I Might Become A Sure Observer.

However Depressed I May Be I Am Not In The Habit Of Giving Up A Project Without Having Tried Everything, Even The 'impossible', To Gain My End.
