I see these works for myself as abstract paintings, in the sense of automatic writing (of Surrealism). I painted them without any knowledge or ideas beforehand. Just in the action itself they came to life, by only using my awareness during the painting process. Because I paint in watercolor the touch of the gesture in these works is rather directly, visible and clear, which I appreciate very much. - I like to create clear colorful and abstract art.

Some selected text-quotes on French Fauvism, by Jacob Bendien - as a short introduction of his extended quotes, in the PDF: ’Fauvism is the first movement that takes the main focus of the picture to the painting itself, to the play of lines and colors, and is therefore one of the pioneering movements of the modern art of painting.' ’Matisse (who initiated Fauvism) even goes so far as to say: ‘When looking at a painting one should forget what it is supposed to be.’ ’Fauvism is the continuation of Impressionism. The light freedom and happiness that we find so often in Impressionistic art, we can also find in Fauvism, but then even more so. These characteristics are strongly undervalued by Expressionism and Cubism.' The serious Expressionism only sees (in Fauvist art) - and not entirely without ground - a lack of seriousness, and the strict Cubism sees indiscipline.' . selection of free art-resources on the French art-movement Fauvism / Fauves: extended description of Fauvism and artists, on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauvism selected artist-quotes on Fauvism, on Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Fauvism art-images of Color Field Painting, on Wikiart: https://www.wikiart.org/en/paintings-by-style/fauvism . editor: Fons Heijnsbroek / Matrozenhof (FotoDutch on Wikiquote):<br>[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/User:FotoDutch] translation from Dutch, Anne Porcelijn: [http://www.anneporcelijn.nl]

Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting’ - quote of Braque, 1917; cited in ‘Artists on Art - from the 14th - 20th centuries’, Pantheon Books, 1972 ’I am always working on a number of canvases at one time, eight, ten… .I take years to finish them, but I look at them each day… .You see the advantage of not working from real life - the apples would be rotten long before I completed my canvas…’ - Braque’s quote in ‘Cahiers d’art’, Paris 1954 . selection of free art-resources on the famous French artist Georges Braque: extended biographical notes of Braque, on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Braque artist-quotes of ànd about Braque, on Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Georges_Braque images of the painting art of Georges Braque, on Wikiart: https://www.wikiart.org/en/Search/Braque . editor: Fons Heijnsbroek / Matrozenhof (FotoDutch on Wikiquote):<br>[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/User:FotoDutch]

Paul Cezanne was a French famous painter who was creating his art at first in, but later aside of the Impressionist artists in France. He learned a lot about landscape painting during his many plein-air trips, together with his older painter-mate Pissarro - the most distinct Impressionist in France, in those days! After some years Cezanne went his own way in painting, as his quotes describe very clearly. Moreover they reveal his very intimate relation to Nature. Cezanne painted a lot in open air - mainly around Aix de Provence in France, and very often the mountain ‘Mont St. Victoire’ was his motif (see image, right). Later in his artistic life he rejected firmly the broken-colors of Impressionism, because for Cezanne ‘Form’ became most important in painting art to focus on. That’s the reason why Cezanne had such a strong impact on the starting young Cubist painters circa 1906, Picasso and Braque. .

(Cezanne is portraying his art-dealer Vollard who moved his legs) You’ve spoiled the pose. Do I have to tell you again you must sit like an apple? Does an apple move?’ - quote of Cezanne, c. 1897; recorded by Vollard in his biography ‘Cezanne’ ’Allow me to repeat what I said when you were here (in Aix de Provence, France): deal with nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere and the cone, all placed in perspective, so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point.’ - quote from Cezanne’s letter to Émile Bernard, April 1904 . selection of free art-resources on the famous French artist Paul Cezanne: extended biographical notes of Cezanne, on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Cézanne artist-quotes of ànd about Cezanne, on Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Paul_Cézanne many images of his painting art, on Wikiart: https://www.wikiart.org/en/Search/Ceza . editor: Fons Heijnsbroek / Matrozenhof (FotoDutch on Wikiquote):<br>[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/User:FotoDutch]

Some selected text-quotes on the art movement Cubism in French, by Jacob Bendien - as a short introduction of his extended quotes, in the PDF: ’The history of Cubism consists chiefly of the ongoing battle between the two dimensional plane and three-dimensional nature, between the artists painting construction and the emotional contact with nature.' ’When composing their mathematical figures into a painting, the Cubists tried to emphasize the construction as much as possible. Sharp corners and planes that expose the construction are not rounded off or smoothed into gradual transitions, but rather they are accentuated.' ’When Cubists painted a portrait ‘en face’, but felt the nose was better shown ‘en profile’, this was simply turned in the plane. Thus parts of the front, side and back were all portrayed in one painting.' . selection of more free art resources on Cubism and the cubist artists: an extended description of Cubism on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubism selected artist-quotes on Cubism, on Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Cubism Cubist art-images, on Wikiart: https://www.wikiart.org/en/paintings-by-style/cubism . editor: Fons Heijnsbroek / Matrozenhof (FotoDutch on Wikiquote):<br>[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/User:FotoDutch] translation from Dutch, Anne Porcelijn: [http://www.anneporcelijn.nl]

Pablo Picasso in quotes - the Spain-born artist informs us on his painting art, the start of early Cubism together with Braque & his artistic life in France - free resource for students, pupils, art-lovers and teachers in French art history Picasso’s artist quotes tell us a lot about the early start of French Cubism - by Braque and himself in Paris circa 1908-10; both artists were strongly inspired by Cezanne’s ideas on painting. Picasso reflects in his quotes also on the essence of Cubist art, and rejected strongly the idea of ‘Abstract art’! He expresses his later admiration for French contemporary artists like Henri Matisse and also Marc Chagall, because of their admirable color use and strong visual imagination. Picasso describes his characteristic way of creating art as ‘finding’ - he rejects ‘looking for’. He values a picture, made by him as a sum of destruction activities - without losing anything in the long run of creation. . Some selected artist quotes of Pablo Picasso - as a short introduction of his extended quotes in the PDF: ’Almost every evening (in their early Cubist-years, in Paris, France), either I went to (Georges) Braque’s studio or Braque came to mine… …We criticized each other’s paintings. A canvas wasn’t finished unless both of us felt it was.’ - quote of Picasso, Dec. 1908; as cited in: ‘Futurism’, ed. Didier Ottinger; 5 Continents Editions, Milan, 2008, p. 311 ’In my opinion to search means nothing in painting. To find is the thing. Nobody is interested in following a man who… …spends his life looking for the purse that fortune should put in his path’. - Picasso’s quote, from his interview with Marius de Zayas: in: ‘The Arts’, vol. 3, New York, May 1923. pp. 315-329 ’Everyone wants to understand painting. Why don’t they try to understand the song of the birds? Why do they love a night, a flower, everything which surrounds man, without attempting to understand them?.. .Let them understand above all that the artist… …too, is a minute element of the world.’ - quote from interviews with Christian Zervos, in 1934-35 . selection of free art-resources on the artist Pablo Picasso: biographical notes on Picasso, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso artist-quotes of ànd about Picasso, Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso images of the painting art of Picasso, Wikiart: https://www.wikiart.org/en/Search/picasso . editor: Fons Heijnsbroek / Matrozenhof (FotoDutch on Wikiquote):<br>[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/User:FotoDutch]

Characteristic for his art are Guston’s ‘symbols’ and his frequent use of daily objects and people like American Ku Kux-Klansman, light bulbs, shoes, cigarettes, faces, clocks, lamps, and other kind of daily things. They all appear in his canvasses - painted in a striking way. His quotes reveal an American, but much-travelling painter-artist, mainly through Italy. . Some selected artist-quotes of American artist Phillip Guston - as a short introduction of his extended quotes in the PDF: ’There is something ridiculous and miserly in the myth we inherit from abstract art: That painting is autonomous, pure and for itself… .But painting is ‘impure’. It is the adjustment of ‘impurities’, which forces painting’s continuity. We are image-makers and image-ridden.’ - quote of Guston, 1960; from a transcript of the panel, March 1960, held at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, United States ’There are so many things to paint in the world – in the cities – so much to see. Does art need to represent this variety and contribute to its proliferation? Can art be that free? The difficulties begin when you understand what it is that the soul will not permit the hand to make.’ - his quote of 1966 in: ‘ARTnews Annual’, Oct. 1966; p. 102 ’It is the bareness of drawing that I like. The act of drawing is what locates, suggests, discovers.’ - Guston’s quote in ‘ARTnews Annual’, Oct. 1966; p. 152 . selection of free art-resources on American artist Philip Guston: extended biographical notes on Phillip Guston, on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Guston artist-quotes of ànd about Guston, on Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Phillip_Guston images of his painting art, on Wikiart: https://www.wikiart.org/en/philip-guston . editor: Fons Heijnsbroek / Matrozenhof (FotoDutch on Wikiquote):<br>[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/User:FotoDutch]
