Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
My painting represents the victory of the forces of darkness and peace over the powers of light and evil.
As for a picture, if it isn't worth a thousand words, the hell with it.
The artist should once and forever emancipate himself from the bondage of appearance.
The only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.
Art is art. Everything else is everything else.
