Quotes about painting:
It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.

I have only one passion, that for light, in the name of humanity which has suffered so much and which has the right to happiness.
