I Don't Know What Motivated The Artist,

I've Never Found Anything To Be Lacking In A Blurry Canvas. Quite The Contrary: You Can See Many More Things In It Than In A Sharply Focused Image. A Landscape Painted With Exactness Forces You To See A Determined Number Of Clearly Differentiated Trees, While In A Blurry Canvas You Can Perceive As Many Trees As You Want. The Painting Is More Open.

The First Colour Charts Were Unsystematic. They Were Based Directly On Commercial Colour Samples. They Were Still Related To Pop Art. In The Canvases That Followed, The Colours Were Chosen Arbitrarily And Drawn By Chance. Then, 180 Tones Were Mixed According To A Given System And Drawn By Chance To Make Four Variations Of 180 Tones. But After That The Number 180 Seemed Too Arbitrary To Me, So I Developed A System Based On A Number Of Rigorously Defined Tones And Proportions.

My Landscapes Are Not Only Beautiful Or Nostalgic, With A Romantic Or Classical Suggestion Of Lost Paradises, But Above All 'untruthful'.

Theory Has Nothing To Do With A Work Of Art. Pictures Which Are Interpretable, And Which Contain A Meaning, Are Bad Pictures. A Picture Presents Itself As The Unmanageable, The Illogical, The Meaningless.

Since There Is No Such Thing As Absolute Rightness And Truth, We Always Pursue The Artificial, Leading, Human Truth. We Judge And Make A Truth That Excludes Other Truths. Art Plays A Formative Part In This Manufacture Of Truth.
