Danh ngôn của Henri Matisse (Sứ mệnh: 5)

Time extracts various values from a painter's work. When these values are exhausted the pictures are forgotten, and the more a picture has to give, the greater it is.
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
Impressionism is the newspaper of the soul.
Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.
It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.
What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.
Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
Exactitude is not truth.
Creativity takes courage.
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.
An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.
