You become an artist to upset your family.

For me, the Bild-Dichtung [image-poem] is the ideal form, because the drawing process is constantly being interrupted or contrasted by the writing. And since I always have something to say when I am writing, the effort has a balancing effect. Drawing and writing are wonderful complements.

My body is the intention. My body is the event. My body is the result.

Color will play no part in the art of future.

Pure painting or the art of drawing whose point of departure is based on purely formal criteria is,in my opinion,passé. I do not reject it if other artists make attempts,but as far as I am concerned,this is what I believe. if I do not place a text next to my drawings,I consider the work on such programmes to be futile.

Art is gushing hot bile on the fields and harvesting the looks of nasty dwarfs.

Poetry is when words are robbed of their attributed truth.
