“Art is a creation of a higher order than a copy of nature which is governed by chance.... By the elimination of all muddy colors, by the exclusive use of optical mixture of pure colors, by a methodical divisionism and a strict observation of the scientific theory of colors, the neo-impressionists insures a maximum of luminosity, of color intensity, and of harmony- a result that has never yet been obtained.”
-- Paul Signac -
“The anarchist painter is not the one who will create anarchist pictures, but the one who will fight with all his individuality against official conventions.”
-- Paul Signac -
-
“Vuillard balances too far on the side of fantasy... the people in his pictures are not properly defined. As he's an admirable draughtsman it must be that he just doesn't want to give them mouths and hands and feet.”
-- Paul Signac

“Hope lies to mortals And most believe her, But man's deceiver Was never mine.”
