More from Henri Matisse
"It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other; colors must be appropriately placed to enhance each other."
"An artist must possess nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare him for the mastery of the great universal rhythm."
"The artist must have a clear vision of what he wants to do."
"When I put a green, it is not grass. When I put a blue, it is not the sky."
"I should like people to know that they cannot approach color as if coming into a barn door ('entrer au moulin'); that one must go through a severe preparation to be worthy of it."
