For an impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.

Right now a moment of time is passing by! We must become that moment.

With an apple I will astonish Paris.

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one's sensations.

The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

Right now a moment is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate. give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.
