Action Is The Foundational Key To All

The Secret Of Many Of My Deformations - Which Many People Do Not Understand - Is That There Is An Interaction, An Intereffect Between The Lines In A Painting: One Line Attracts The Other And At The Point Of Maximum Attraction The Lines Curve In Toward The Attracting Point And Form Is Altered.

Art Isn't Done To Decorate Apartments, But To Wage War Against The Enemy.

We All Know That Art Is Not Truth. Art Is A Lie That Makes Us Realize Truth At Least The Truth That Is Given Us To Understand. The Artist Must Know The Manner Whereby To Convince Others Of The Truthfulness Of His Lies.

Painting Is A Blind Man's Profession. He Paints Not What He Sees, But What He Feels, What He Tells Himself About What He Has Seen.

We Didn't Want To Sign The Painting Itself, That Would Have Interfered With The Composition. And Even Later, For That Reason Or For Another, I Sometimes Marked My Canvases On The Back. If You Don't See My Signature And The Date, Madam, It's Because The Frame Is Hiding It.
