Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it. Novelty is seldom the essential... make a subject better from its intrinsic nature. These people annoy me. They want me to finish things. But I see them in such a way and paint them accordingly. Look, it is so easy to finish things. I paint things as they are. I don't comment. I record.
In our time there are many artists who do something because it is new; they see their value and their justification in this newness. They are deceiving themselves.. Of course one should not drink much, but often. Nothing is simpler than to complete pictures in a superficial sense. Never does one lie so cleverly as then. Monet's work would have been even greater if he had not abandoned figure-painting.
