"Tutta l'arte è Fantasia, tutta l'Arte è Natura. Bisogna andare alla Natura, prendere quello che si ama, e restituirlo sulla tela attraverso l'istinto e la Fantasia; quello che ne nascerà sarà Naturale e Fantastico allo stesso tempo. Questo è quello che hanno sempre fatto i pittori."
Tancredi cit. in Tancredi, facezie, matti, fiori, Milano 1992, pag. 51
