Matisse

Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence. -Matisse

I don't paint things.  I only paint the difference between things.  -Matisse

With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft. -Matisse

I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished mt works a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me. -Matisse

I wouldn't mind turning into a vermillion goldfish. -Matisse
