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.
My philosophy is very simple. To feel young, you must work as long as you can.
