The important thing is somehow to begin.
I think, what has this day brought me, and what have I given it?
Never think of the surface except as an extension of a volume.
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
I find in all the artists that I admire most a disturbing element, a distortion, giving evidence of a struggle . . . . In great art, this conflict is hidden, it is unresolved. All that is bursting with energy is disturbing - not perfect.
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
