Matisse on re-working his paintings


«I want to get to this stage of condensation of sensations that make the painting. I could content myself with the first attempt at a work, but I would get tired of it immediately, and I prefer to rework it so that later on I recognize it as a representation of my mind. »

- Henri Matisse (in “Note d’un peintre” – Ecrits et propos sur l’art – Hermann, 1972)

    Thanks for this quote. Great concept - reworking your work until it's you
