It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress; it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.
When we discovered cubism, we did not have the aim of discovering cubism. We only wanted to express what was in us.
Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Action is the foundation of all success.
When the individuality of the artist begins to express itself, what the artist gains in the way of liberty he loses in the way of order.

What do you think an artist is An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he is a poet, or, if he is merely a boxer, only his muscle On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heartrending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.

In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
