“Justice in sociology is enlightenment in art.”

“The golden age is not in the past, but in the future.”

“The anarchist painter is not the one who will create anarchist pictures, but the one who will fight with all his individuality against official conventions.”

“Art is a creation of a higher order than a copy of nature which is governed by chance.”

“Let's go to the fish market and buy a mackerel, a red mullet and a gurnard! Let's paint them, and when we have finished, let's have them for dinner.”

“Every pictorial composition is a rhythmic arrangement of colors and lines.”
