“I made an effort to develop this personality by counting above all on my intuition, by returning again and again to fundamentals. When difficulties stopped me in my work, I said to myself: ‘I have colors, a canvas, I must express myself with purity, even though I do it in the briefest manner by putting down, for instance, four or five spots of color, or by drawing four or five lines which have a plastic expression.'”
– Henri Matisse, interviewed by Apollinaire (1907)
