A Good Picture, Any Picture, Has To

Without Great Solitude No Serious Work Is Possible.

The Different Styles I Have Been Using In My Art Must Not Be Seen As An Evolution, Or As Steps Towards An Unknown Ideal Of Painting. Everything I Have Ever Made Was Made For The Present And With The Hope That It Would Always Remain In The Present.

I Paint What I Think, Not What I See.

Those Trying To Explain Pictures Are As A Rule Completely Mistaken.

I Have Always Believed And Still Believe That Artists Who Live And Work With Spiritual Values Cannot And Should Not Remain Indifferent To The Conflict In Which The Highest Values Of Humanity And Civilization Are At Stake.
