Zitat des Tages von Pierre Bonnard:
Art will never be able to exist without nature.
You reason color more than you reason drawing... Color has a logic as severe as form.
One always talks of surrendering to nature. There is also such a thing as surrendering to the picture.
Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.
A painting that is well composed is half finished.
The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing.
I'm trying to do what I have never done - give the impression one has on entering a room: one sees everything and at the same time nothing.
Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.
The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.
Work on the accent, it will enliven the whole.
You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.
I should like to present myself to the young painters of the year 2000 with the wings of a butterfly.
