Painting Is A Nail To Which I

I Couldn't Portray A Woman In All Her Natural Loveliness... I Haven't The Skill. No One Has. I Must, Therefore, Create A New Sort Of Beauty.

Take The Birds Which You'll Have Noticed In So Many Of My Recent Paintings. I Never Thought Them Up, They Just Materialized Of Their Own Accord; They Were Born On The Canvas... It Is Absurd To Read Any Sort Of Symbolic Significance Into Them.

Scientific Perspective Forces The Objects In A Picture To Disappear Away From The Beholder Instead Of Bringing Them Within His Reach As Painting Should.

To Work From Nature Is To Improvise.

Art Disturbs, Science Reassures.
