I Use The Gallery As If It

What Do I Ask Of A Painting? I Ask It To Astonish, Disturb, Seduce, Convince.

The Character Of The Artist Doesn't Enter Into The Nature Of The Art. Eliot Said That Art Is The Escape From Personality, Which I Think Is Right. We Know That Velázquez Embezzled Money From The Spanish Court And Wanted Power And So On, But You Can't See This In His Art.

The Painter Must Give A Completely Free Rein To Any Feeling Or Sensations He May Have And Reject Nothing To Which He Is Naturally Drawn.

I Have A Timetable, But No Routine.

The Task Of The Artist Is To Make The Human Being Uncomfortable.
