Quote

“Two points that I consider the most significant in my understanding of painting: 1. Color is soul and form is matter. And color is primary over form. 2. The artist's palette, which remains after he has painted a Picture, is a very important link and is subject to careful study. A palette is a color in a state of Chaos, and a Picture is a color in a state of coloristic order.”
