Count on big lines to express your ideas.
Perhaps whatever there is in my work that may be really interesting to others and surely what is interesting to me, is the result of a sometimes successful effort to free myself from any idea that what I produce must be art...
Things should all be moving toward the expression of a great idea.
To have ideas one must have imagination. To express ideas one must have science.
The artist should be intoxicated with the idea of the thing he wants to express.
Paint like a fiend when the idea possesses you.
The great painter has something to say. He does not paint men, landscapes, or furniture; but an idea.
It's a wrong idea that a master is a finished person. Masters are very faulty; they haven't learned everything and they know it.
Do whatever you do intensely. The artist is the man who leaves the crowd and goes pioneering. With him there is an idea which is his life.
