My breakthrough came very late in life, really only starting when I was 50...I had the strength for new deeds and ideas.
All art, literature, and music must be born in your heart's blood. Art is your heart's blood.
No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
We're still hopeful, but we are no longer that confident. The chances of finding the paintings diminish with time and already a lot of time has passed,
The paintings are moods, impressions of the life of the soul, and together they represent one aspect of the battle, between man and woman, that is called love.
