Art Is Vice. You Don't Marry It

I Felt So Insufficiently Equipped, So Unprepared, So Weak, And At The Same Time It Seemed To Me That My Reflections On Art Were Correct. I Quarreled With All The World And With Myself.

The Frame Is The Pimp Of Painting; It Enhances It, But It Must Never Shine At The Painting's Expense.

People Call Me The Painter Of Dancing Girls. It Has Never Occurred To Them That My Chief Interest In Dancers Lies In Rendering Movement And Painting Pretty Clothes.

The Dance Instills In You Something That Sets You Apart. Something Heroic And Remote.
