When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident.

The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.

The pictures I contemplate painting would constitute a halfway state and attempt to point out the direction of the future - without arriving there completely

Art is coming face to face with yourself.

People have always frightened and bored me consequently I have been within my own shell.

If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

Love is friendship set to music.
