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

Aesthetics is to artists as ornithology is to birds.

From the very beginning I felt that I would do a series.

I hope that my painting has the impact of giving someone, as it did me, the feeling of his own totality, of his own separateness, of his own individuality.

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

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

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