As a great humanitarian, regardless of gender, ethnic origin, nationality, or religion, he was interested in the individuals he always treated with respect. Amiet understood his art as a precise, symphonic composition of colors and described it as follows: "To distinguish warm colors from cold ones, to separate them cleanly, to know their tonal value, to give a color its character by placing a specific other next to it, and to let it bloom and glow, whether applied thickly or thinly, in broad layers or stippled, perhaps serving its purpose better. Learning, testing, and recognizing these and many other artistic techniques takes time and demands equal parts of head, heart, and hand." The virtuoso colorist Cuno Amiet is referred to as a master of color. He is much more than a mere performer of color effects. His works are felt humanly and experienced poetically.
