If I Weren't A Jew Then I

Can My Words Distill For You A Little Sweetness, Tender And Caressing?

Great Art Picks Up Where Nature Ends.

If A Symbol Should Be Discovered In A Painting Of Mine, It Was Not My Intention. It Is A Result I Did Not Seek. It Is Something That May Be Found Afterwards, And Which Can Be Interpreted According To Taste.

When I Am Finishing A Picture, I Hold Some God-made Object Up To It - A Rock, A Flower, The Branch Of A Tree Or My Hand - As A Final Test. If The Painting Stands Up Beside A Thing Man Cannot Make, The Painting Is Authentic. If There's A Clash Between The Two, It's Bad Art.

If I Create From The Heart, Nearly Everything Works; If From The Head, Almost Nothing.
