“In our life there is a single color, as on an artist palette which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.”

“I am not working for myself alone, I believe in the absolute necessity for a new art of color, of design, and - of the artistic life..”

“Sounds are indeed like colors, and my hunger for a truer palette of colors grows day to day.”

“The painter's only solid ground is the palette and colors, but as soon as the colors achieve an illusion, they are no longer judged.”

“Life without friends is like a mirrorless life, friends are like a mirror that connects you to yourself. Life without friends seems like an incomplete picture in which there is no color, friends make our colorless world colorful and life beautiful.”

“It is only after years of preparation that the young [artist] should touch color — not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.”

“Love must give warmth and unfading color to every day of the dullest life.”

“Nature's purpose in relation to the visual arts is to provide stimulus — not imitation... From its ceaseless urge to create springs all Life — all movement and rhythm — time and light, color and mood — in short, all reality in Form and Thought.”

“What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.”

“One must realize that, apart from considerations of color and form, there are two fundamentally different ways of regarding a medium of expression: one is based on taste only — an approach in which the external physical elements of expression are merely pleasingly arranged. This way results in decoration with no spiritual reaction. Arrangement is not art. The second way is based on the artist’s power of empathy, to feel the intrinsic qualities of the medium of expression. Through these qualities the medium comes to life... In this life, an intuitive artist discovers the emotive and vital substance which makes a work of art.”
