The Role Of The Painter . .

Who Made Art History? Not The Most Reasonable People. The Mad Men Did. If Painting Is The Mirror Of A Time, It Must Be Mad To Have A True Image Of What That Time Is. To One Madness We Oppose Another Madness.

Every Normal Human Being (and Not Merely The 'artist') Has An Inexhaustible Store Of Buried Images In His Subconscious, It Is Merely A Matter Of Courage Or Liberating Procedures ... Of Voyages Into The Unconscious, To Bring Pure And Unadulterated Found Objects To Light.

I Succeeded In Simply Attending At The Birth Of All My Works.

My Paintings Are Not Meant To Be Tasted.

Collage Is The Noble Conquest Of The Irrational, The Coupling Of Two Realities, Irreconcilable In Appearance, Upon A Plane Which Apparently Does Not Suit Them.
