I love chaos.... It's the poetic element in a dull and ordered world.

I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.

It is the mission of art to remind man from time to time that he is human, and the time is ripe, just now, today, for such a reminder.

All art is based on non-conformity.

What is it about conformity itself that causes us all to require it of our neighbors and of our artists and then, with consummate fickleness, to forget those who fall into line and eternally celebrate those who do not?

I was primarily interested in people, and people in action, so that I did nothing photographically in the sense of doing buildings for their own sake or a still life or anything like that.

To abstract is to draw out the essence of a matter. To abstract in art is to separate certain fundamentals from irrelevant material which surrounds them.
