I will always find even the worst paintings that attempt some kind of representation better than the best invented paintings.
Painting is a source of endless pleasure, but also of great anguish.
I had only planned to strike the gong violently in order to somehow shake people up and make them more aware. I think I succeeded.
One must always draw, draw with the eyes, when one cannot draw with a pencil.
If you speak of beauty, you are at once suspected of...kitsch.
I always feel the desire to look for the extraordinary in ordinary things; to suggest, not to impose, to leave always a slight touch of mystery in my paintings.
