The impulse of modern art was this desire to destroy beauty.

It is our function as artists to make the spectator see the world our way not his way.

The problem of a painting is physical and metaphysical, the same as I think life is physical and metaphysical.

Aesthetics is for the artist like ornithology is for the birds.

Any art worthy of its name should address 'life', 'man', 'nature', 'death' and 'tragedy'.

What is the explanation of the seemingly insane drive of man to be painter and poet if it is not an act of defiance against mans fall and an assertion that he return to the Garden of Eden? For the artists are the first men.

I prefer to leave the paintings to speak for themselves.
