“Humans have changed the landscape so much, but images of the sea could
be shared with primordial people. I just project my imagination on to
the viewer, even the first human being. I think first and then imagine
some scenes. Then I go out and look for them. Or I re-create these
images with my camera. I love photography because photography is the
most believable medium. Painting can lie, but photography never lies:
that is what people used to believe.”

“To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless,
too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing,
what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that…Painting is another form of thinking.”

“My colour has no symbolic function whatever. I don’t want any colour to
be noticeable. I want the colour to be the colour of life, so that you
would notice it as being irregular if it changed. I don’t want it to
operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent. I don’t
want people to say, “Oh, what was that red or that blue picture of
yours, I’ve forgotten what it was.”

“Work at the same time upon water, sky, branches, ground, keeping
everything going on an equal basis and unceasingly rework until you have
got it. Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose
the first impression.”
The Four Seasons: Summer, 1872 by Camille Pissarro
