... in front of images like this, you should really be shaken up and burst into tears, but instead, they’ve become just too beautiful, while I was painting them I lost sight of the unhappiness, I’m ashamed to say, and instead of that, I amuse myself with radiant colours and the contours of objects and the human body.
as a result I have to class my efforts to depict unhappiness as a failure. When I look at my pictures, sometimes I have the embarrassing feeling that I am looking at paradise...
