"Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it."
"No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters"
"What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming."
"It is very well to copy what one sees; it's much better to draw what one has retained in one's memory. It is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory."
"People call me the painter of dancers, but I really wish to capture movement itself."
"A painting is an artificial work existing outside nature and it requires as much cunning as the perpetration of a crime."
"I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey."
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."
“One must do the same subject over again ten times, a hundred times. In art nothing must resemble an accident, not even movement.”
“Monet's pictures are always too draughty for me.”
