Color Does Not Add A Pleasant Quality

Painting Has To Get Back To Its Original Goal, Examining The Inner Lives Of Human Beings.

What Attracted Me Was Less Art Itself Than The Artist’s Life And All That It Meant For Me: The Idea Of Creativity And Freedom Of Expression And Action. I Had Been Attracted To Painting And Drawing For A Long Time, But It Was Not An Irresistible Passion; What I Wanted, At All Costs, Was To Escape The Monotony Of Life.

Art Is Not Nature... There Was A Lot More To Be Got Out Of Color.

The Principal Subject Is The Surface, Which Has Its Color, Its Laws Over And Above Those Of Object.

The Expression On My Face - Who On Earth Would Be Interested In That? All That I Have To Say Is To Be Found In My Works. (on Being Photographed)
