Pierre Bonnard

Every morning I wake up and think about color.

The nude does not feed one's eyes nothing but the emotion of a woman seen for the first time.

Art is a corner of creation seen through a keyhole.

I leave the subject to invent a certain harmony between forms and colors.

Life is a mosaic made of moments.

The painter's eye sees more than the camera's lens.

Beauty is in the arrangement of colors, not in the subject.

One must always draw from nature, even if one's vision is distorted.

Love of art carries one far.

The table, the vase, the cat create a harmony.

I paint what I feel, not what I see.

Time spent in painting is never wasted.

Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle do.

The ordinary is extraordinary when seen with fresh eyes.

In my paintings, the light dances.

Art is the expression of joy.

I capture the fleeting moment in eternal color.

Friends are the family we choose, like colors we mix.

The brush is mightier than the pen in revealing truth.

Nature is my teacher, but imagination my guide.
