And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything.

My father's parents were carpenters. They were also builders partly. They were painters. And several of them were very, active in the theatre and all such nonsense, you know.

Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature.

Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.

It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.

It's the only dish I serve my craziness for color in.

In order to use color effectively it is necessary to recognize that color deceives continually.
