“The several manners I have used in my art must be considered as an evolution, or as steps toward an unknown ideal of painting […]. Different motives inevitably require different methods of expression. When I paint my object is to show what I have found and not what I am looking for. In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish: love must be proved by facts and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.”
