It seems to me that the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture. Each age find its own technique.

I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them.

On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.

I don't paint nature. I am nature.

Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence.

My painting does not come from the easel.
