Well he probably felt uncomfortable about selling his art...
It must be a funny feeling when your art all the sudden becomes that expensive and well known.
Also in this quote i recognize the old idea that art creation is more a struggle and pain than pleasure, but the artist is forced to work by the desire to express himself.
There's a great quote by Giacometti:
"If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all."
