„I never imagined that France could be represented by such doddering old fools, not excepting that little twit Thiers...“
„He has no talent at all, that boy! You, who are his friend, tell him please to give up painting.“
„I am influenced by everybody. [and Willem de Kooning admitted: 'every time I put my hands in my pockets I find someone else's fingers there'].“
„No one knows what it feels like to be constantly insulted [by art-critics in Paris]. It sickens and destroys you... The fools! They've never stopped telling me I'm inconsistent [in his painting style]; they couldn't have said anything more flattering.“
