Art is man's distinctly human way of fighting death.

Of course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art.

It took me fifty years to deal with the Holocaust at all. And I did it in a literary way.

I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.

I think it has other roots, has to do, in part, with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs, inequality of possibility and chance, inequality of goods allotted to us, a kind of general racist, unjust attitude that is pervasive.

People like me, who care about printing, constitute the tiniest lunatic fringe in the nation.

I always felt that I had anxiety of survival in terms of livelihood even when I was making plenty of money.
