Alfred Sisley

I always start a painting with the sky.

Every picture shows a spot with which the artist has fallen in love.

Though the artist must remain master of his craft, the surface, at times raised to the highest pitch of loveliness, should transmit to the beholder the sensation which possessed the artist.

In all animation, if it's done quickly, you'll know it. And if you're very slow and careful with it, it's going to look a little more beautiful. It's just compressing time into seconds.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. It's the most radical thing.
