Art disturbs, science reassures.
Writing is not describing, painting is not depicting. Verisimilitude is merely an illusion.
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
The starting point of a picture for any painter is a matter of colors and form...I believe that the poetry of art - if that is what one may call it - is a matter of animating these forms and colors.
