The aim of every authentic artist is not to conform to the history of art, but to release himself from it in order to replace it with his own history.

The big moment came when it was decided to paint...Just To Paint. The gesture on the canvas was a gesture of liberation, from Value- political, aesthetic, moral.

Whoever undertakes to create soon finds himself engaged in creating himself.

The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous. Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.

No degree of dullness can safeguard a work against the determination of critics to find it fascinating.

Avant-gardism is an addiction that can be appeased only by a revolution in permanence.

Today, each artist must undertake to invent himself, a lifelong act of creation that constitutes the essential content of the artist's work.
