I Never Knew What I Was Doing

I Paint What Cannot Be Photographed, Something From The Imagination... I Photograph The Things I Don't Want To Paint, Things That Are Already In Existence.

An Original Is A Creation Motivated By Desire.

Speaking Of Nudes, I Have Always Had A Great Fondness For This Subject, Both In My Paintings And In My Photos, And I Must Admit, Not For Purely Artistic Reasons.

I Paint What Cannot Be Photographed, That Which Comes From The Imagination Or From Dreams, Or From An Unconscious Drive.

Cut Out The Eye From A Photograph Of One Who Has Been Loved But Is Seen No More. Attach The Eye To The Pendulum Of A Metronome And Regulate The Weight To Suit The Tempo Desired. Keep Going To The Limit Of Endurance. With A Hammer Well-aimed, Try To Destroy The Whole At A Single Blow.
