​
Francis
BACON
'I don’t in fact know very often what the paint will do, and it does many things which are very much better than I could make it do.'
Jean-René BAZAINE
'If pictorial expression has changed, it is because modern life has necessitated it.'
Marc
CHAGALL
'My name is Marc, my emotional life is sensitive and my purse is empty, but they say I have talent.'
Eduardo
CHILLIDA
'Art is that which comes to a man, and stands between himself and an implacable witness: the work.'
Claude
GARACHE
'My women are genderless. They are human beings, they represent all people.'
Alberto GIACOMETTI
'I've been fifty thousand times to the Louvre. I have copied everything in drawing, trying to understand.'
Fernand LEGER
'If pictorial expression has changed, it is because modern life has necessitated it.'
Joan
MIRO
'I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.'
Pablo
PALAZUELO
'I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.'
Paul
REBEYROLLE
'I passed by the window of an art dealer.. There was a Rouault in the window, and I thought I was going to faint: that was the first real painting I saw.'
Saul
STEINBERG
'I am among the few who continue to draw after childhood is ended, continuing and perfecting childhood drawing - without the traditional interruption of academic training.'
Antoni
TAPIES
'The artist has to make the viewer understand that his world is too narrow, he has to be open up to new perspectives.'
Pierre
TAL-COAT
'I only like what is ready to be deleted, to be taken away -, and I take away what I like.'
RAOUL
UBAC
'I would like a state of innocence that would reflect the splendor of the world across my work.'
