Additional quotes by Henri Matisse

I don't know whether I believe in God or not. I think, really, I'm some kind of a Buddhist. But the essential thing is to put oneself in a frame of mind which is close to that of prayer.

The artist begins with a vision — a creative operation requiring effort. Creativity takes courage. - Henri Matisse
